Enjoying: mean doctor slang
Ever wondered about the often incomprehensible acronyms and scribbles on medical charts? Chances are the doctor has more to say that you might think - and it's not always nice.
This website lists hundreds - possibly thousands - of these terms and makes for some entertaining reading.
Some of my personal faves:
Donorcycle - motorbike: the biggest cause of donated organs!
BTSOOM - Beats The Sh*t Out Of Me
PRATFO - Patient Reassured And Told to F*** Off
DENTIST - Doesn't Even Need Treatment - It's Sorted, Truly
LFTWM - Looking for 3 Wise Men (applied to young pregnant females who deny having had intercourse)
LGFD - looks good from door (but not closely examined, possibly an obnoxious patient)
