Ok...
So I am a part of a committee putting together a "seminar" targeting New Grads, Recent Grads and students.
We are tentatively calling it "REAL Life in the ER".
We are planning it from a humorous perspective.
I have the task of ED "Definitions"
You know...
"DDK"=Dead Doesn't Know it
"Code Brown"=No explanation needed...I hope!
Got it??!!??
So if anyone has some funny ones...please post them so I can include them in my "lecture"
Thanks!
:rotfl:
Also, any funny "Nurse Calls"
TMB= Too Many Birthdays
Some pts need referrals to the Follow Up Care Unit (FUC-U)
DX: Hypovicodinemia.
They aren't frequent flyers anymore, they're "Experienced consumers of healthcare services".
ICP Immaculate conception pregnancy. "But I can't be pregnant!"
VicoProFlex: The s/p MVA combo of Vicodin, Ibuprofen, and Flexeril.
Status Adolescencus: Teenage brats
GOMER=Get Out of My Emergency Room (said of our frequent flyers)LOLFOF=Little Old Lady Found On Floor (a common occurrence)
FOSS=Full of Sh** Syndrome (most common reason for nursing-home pt. admissions)
CTD=Circling the Drain
T&S=Treat and Street (a runny nose that suddenly becomes an emergency at 4 AM)
LOVE that CTD & we use FOS, especially our radiologists who read our CT's, like to write that on results.
