German term

Wiederholungsrpl

German to English Medical Medical (general)
I am having difficulties with "rpl" which obviously is an abbreviation. It is listed as "Wiederholungsrpl Ueberweisung" in an invoice frpm a doctor under "Leistungsbezeichnung" (description of services rendered). The next line reads "Besuch, Beratung, Untersuchung". - Help by medical specialists will be appreciated.

These mechanics have to be considered again when you enter the next new question. It has happened to me. Just wanted to share this.
Bernhard Sulzer Jul 15, 2008:

Bernhard Sulzer Jul 15, 2008:
..."next step (and save settings for future questions). If you only hit "next step" and then review the question and decide to go back to change something, the new question category (Medical etc..) reverts back to the previous one (Law).
Bernhard Sulzer Jul 15, 2008:

swisstell (asker) Jul 14, 2008:
it is a MEDICAL question and was entered a such (just as the next one). Something in the system or someone is always ...
Kim Metzger Jul 14, 2008:
If you think you need help from medical specialists, why is this question entered under Law/Patents - Law (general)?
