SteveBentley Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 The medical profession's equivalent of PEBCAK, PICNIC and ID-TEN-T seems to be a lot harsher than our terms of affection for users! BBC NEWS | Health | Doctor slang is a dying art
MK-2 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Dr Fox recounts the tale of one doctor who had scribbled TTFO - an expletive expression roughly translated as "Told To Go Away" - on a patient's notes Well phrased BBC, well phrased. In the same way STFU is "Please quieten your voice a bit kind sir" and RTFM is "Have you perchance had a minute to read the instruction booklet that came with said appliance?"
Sirbendy Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I knew of quite a few of these - my aunt is a Ward Sister..hehe...some I really rather like! Code Yellow - a patient who has lost control of his or her bladder DFKDFC - Don't fscking know, don't fscking care Departure lounge - geriatric ward LOBNH - Lights On But Nobody Home I think I just found some new quick-answers to keep "Layer 8 Error" company on the helpdesk..
