Medical - Medical: Health Care
French term or phrase: A.T.
This is a template for a patient's medical history. Here are the headings. Not sure what A.T means:

Date Acte Motif Taille (m) Poids (kg) T.A. Pouls Observation ***A.T.***


Thanks very much.

Work Accident
Explanation:
Without more context - AT stands for Accident du Travail (work accident). Would make sense in a medical history - what does the file say? Is the patient handicapped?

Sorry, Meant to say that if the term A.T. on your text goes together with "Observations", it's very likely that they mean work accident. Otherwise, if you have more context that'd be great.

disagree  Anne Diamantidis: No, the French for BP is T.A. and it is already mentionned in the document - "Date Acte Motif Taille (m) Poids (kg) T.A. Pouls Observation" // Happens to all of us - have a great weekend! ;)))
