Subject:	General
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	Dos.Ext:
Context:	This appears repeatedly in medical report pages, right after the hospital phone number
Keywords:	I know I am being nitpicky but prefer to have the actual translation rather than leave it as is (if possible). I understand it's the phone extension but don't know how "Dos." fits in or exactly what it stands for. TIA

My comment:

phone extension in French is "poste", I don't think you are on the right track.
It is more likely something completely different, Dossier Externe, or whatever.

"Dossier externe" would make sense to me if the abbreviation consistently appears as a heading.
