From working in Peds:
GLF=Good looking father
Where did you all get those cute animated thingys?

ok think I got all the new ones...once again if anyone wants a copy of all the ones I have let me know.

When I worked inpt hospice, and a pt got flowers, I'd say "He just got an FTD bouquet."
FTD= Fixin' To Die.

When a doc unfamiliar w/ palliative pain mgmt would prescribe pain meds that were far too inadequate for a pt's pain and sx mgmt, (i.e. 2 Darvocet q 4h prn for CA pain) I'd say "The doc's got the pt licking a baby aspirin."

When a family would INSIST that an actively dying pt with way-low colloidal oncotic pressure get uneccisary and often harmful IV fluids, we called it "HTF" or Hydrating The Family.

When a doc ordered it, it was "HTD" or Hydrating The Doc.

I review malpractice cases and one of my abbreviation interpretations is WNL = we never looked.

ooooooooh, nursemartha!! LOL

When I was working on a vascular surgery unit, a coworker told me about a patient I'd be taking from her at shift change, saying she was a HONDA......I'm like ???? And she explained Hypertensive Obese Neurotic Diabetic A$$hole; saying that I should know that, since that described most of our patients?!

Also, when one of our patients died, we'd say they transferred to the 9th floor. Our hospital had only 8 floors.

Added these to my ever growing list...thanks!


As always if anyone wants a copy just send me an email addy and I'll be happy to send it to you.

We have a particular surgeon that performs "Foreverectomies" on some of his patients. You know, removes any forever the poor soul had left.
I know, it's sick, I'm hanging my head.....sort of.
