Medical - Medical (general) / Case record
Swedish term or phrase: åb-tid
Have no clue what this could mean. Patient hoping to arrange this test, whatever it is. Probably something to do with endorcrinology. Patient has diabetes type 2 and low thyroid. Any ideas? Regarding the procedure, the text reads as follows:

"[The patient] har avtalat med [doctor's name] att hon skall ha en _åb-tid_ i [targeted timeframe]."

Explanation:
This is what I usually write (for UK English though - it's automatically implied that the appointment is another one for the current case in hand). We'd usually say appointment rather than visit. Don't know about US English.
