non hospital approved abrevations.

so what are some of the abreviations used informally in your institution to describe patients.

there are the old ones from Samuel Shems book "House of God"

GOMER get out of my ER
LOLNAD little old lady in no apparent distress


Then the appropriated military ones.

***** f'd up beyond all recognition
SNAFU Situation normal all f'd up


Then there are the ones I have learned since nursing school

TFBUNDY totally F'd but unfortunately not dead yet
JPFROG just plan f'n ran out of gas
AMF kind of like AMA, only Adios Mother F'r (very good for some er pt's.)

care to add some more to the list?
