How many names do you have for constipation?

Blocked up or backed up....

obstipation- an MD term for the turd that won't come out with just a laxative or enema- have to go in after it to unclog and then flush out with lactulose or GoLytely.

My favorite is FOS, which can often be seen on Xray accompanied by an MIF (Massive internal fart) )

We see lotsa that in LTC but I was told NEVER EVER EVER

call "it" an "impaction."

Why? I asked.

Apparently the word "impaction" is a Big Red Flag to the State.

So we call it "digital removal of fecal matter."

I think the best name for constipation in the ER is: LAME!!!!!!

How bout the name for that constipation that has let loose all over kingdom come? CODE BROWN!
