Medical - Medical (general) / Extract from hospital record for a patient being treated for ongoing back problems
Norwegian term or phrase: Konf
Hi, the patient records include the following sentence regarding a report faxed over to the Norwegian hospital from England. I just can't determine what is meant by the abbreviation 'konf', though:

"konf ang [angivelig] skriv på engelsk".

Explanation:
There are a couple of different options for "Konf" ("konferert"), but in this case, I would translate "Konf ang" as "discussed". "Kong" is fairly common in Norwegian and Danish discharge summaries and similar medical records.
