I just brought this up in another post too. One of our cardiac thor. surgeons gave me a paper with a med name on it. He asked me to look it up because he couldn't find it anywhere. My first thought was, oh my gosh , is his Blackberry broken or is he worried that he may get a blister on his finger. So I took the gosh darn paper and it sain "Mycoxaflopin", at first glance it looked like a real med. But, when I said it in my head I had to laugh. I guess, even "those kind of Dr's" can have a little humor deep down inside them somewhere. Of course there's always the old standard pt's with funny names for meds like , Dilauda (I was informed by a pt that it is the liqued form of Dilaudid), or Finergin.

The ones I remember
Vitamin H for haldol
Milk of amnesia for Propofol
keeping some humor at the work place is definitely necessary

Have a doc that once in a while orders a "B52" (like the plane,B52 bomber)...he's referring to an Ativan/Haldol combo for the unruly psych pt.

Back in the day, in the hospital:

Amphotericin was "Amphoterrible"

Levophed was "Leave 'em dead"

I wasn't there, maybe I am totally misreading this but, that doc sounds a bit creepy.
