B.A.L Coquelicot 6

Medical - Medical (general) / Pathology report
French term or phrase: B.A.L Coquelicot 6
Hi,

I saw that this was asked in 2013 and someone suggested that B.A.L are someone's initials but I am not sure that is the case.
I now have a 2016 pathology report from the department of "HEMATO-ONCOLOGIE ADULTES" at the Hôpital Saint Louis.
When I do a research on their website they now give "Plot B - Coquelicot 6" so I think "B.A.L" must stand for something.
I also don't know what they mean by "Plot"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks

Joanna

  -> Thank you Phil.
neutral  Nicolas Gambardella: I agree that Plot B - Coquelicot 6 is an address. This is not the question. The question is about B.A.L., which is an acronym used throughout Plot B of St Louis.

neutral  philgoddard: I think this is a possibility, though your reference doesn't support it. Either way, as Drmanu says, it's an address so you shouldn't translate it.
3 hrs
  -> Yes it does support it. It says "Prescrit par : B.A.L. TREFLE 5 Service du Professeur MOREL". Trefle 5 is the service of Prof Morel, and the prescription is received from its mailbox. Plot B Coquelicot 6 is of course an address. The question is about BAL
disagree  Drmanu49: No that wold be BAL according to la Poste.//Since when does a mail box prescribe or send a prescription?
1 day 23 hrs
agree  katsy: I find your second reference convincing . Personal initials are given elsewhere and presented as such.
