Medical - Medical: Cardiology / medical report
Bulgarian term or phrase: blona
I am checking a translation. The translator translated the word "blona" by female patient. It's quite feasible in the context, but what is this strange word I cannot find?

Explanation:
Just throwing in my two cents'worth.

It could be the misspelled or jumbled up adjective болна (ill/sick) (feminine singular), as in болна жена.
