Barbara L Pavlik (asker) Jan 25, 2023:
Just to quickly answer everyone's questions, yes, there is some association with pulmonology, and I was going for that as a possible solution when I first saw it, but because of the way it's abbreviated (and yes, it is a military patient), Patient Liaison Officer seems more probable. Thank you to everyone who put in the time and effort to help with this. :)

You should post your suggestion.
Stuart and Aida Nelson Jan 21, 2023:
@ Barbara Is there any association with pulmonology in the entire text or something else?
Dr. Christopher Kronen Jan 20, 2023:
Is this a military patient? If so then Patient Liaison Officer (PLO) is possible.
Stuart and Aida Nelson Jan 20, 2023:
O Oberarzt?

Patient Liaison Officer (PLO)

See the job description below. Both the US military in Germany and the private sector in general employ such individuals. The English abbreviation may have been used directly here.

Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : Maybe, but it seems an odd way to abbreviate the word, and I don't understand how your first reference fits in.

Yes the abbreviation could be odd but that was my educated guess :) also because Barbara's other question mentions 'zerebraler Arterien and Hirninfarkt' which could also involve an expert in pulmonology, hence the first reference.
