Anyone who has spent time in the ER (as a nurse that is) has heard terms like SGP (shallow gene pool), and wished for things like aerosol valium from the waiting and triage area air vents. Here are a couple of good descriptive terms. One I heard from another ER nurse and one from an MD (hematology).
MD calls me when he wants to find a time to talk to a family, "See if you can find the Malignant Familyoma."
The ER nurse says, "We've had a lot of folks here today with CFH." I say, "CHF?" "NO, CFH, Chronic Familial Hypomentia."
