I prefer the term "Typical" to describe laboratory values.

Using the word "Normal" implies that someone falling outside of the given range is "Abnormal" ... and I do not think that is a term that a health care provider should present to their patients. I prefer to consider someone's laboratory values as "Typical" vs. "Atypical" rather than "Normal" vs. "Abnormal. Thank you Alan Gault for that one!
