Terms we will not admit to using

[gwenith]

You all have heard of them and of course we never actually use any of these terms but somehow they are there and everyone knows them.......

There the "unofficial" abbreviation list

like

FLK Funny Looking Kid

or

Craft syndrome - Can't Remember A Flippin' Thing

PFO - clean version - Potted (Drunk) and Fell Over

AHD - Acute Haloperidol Deficit

Or the pseudomedical jargon for describing patient peculiarities i.e.

Mononeuronis Asynapsis

Acute Pneumoencephalopathy (thanks TeeitupTom)

Acute Hyponicotaemia (busting for a cigarette)

Does anyone know anymore??

Okay can anyone add to this list

TPTP To posh to push (Generally associated with FMPS)

CTF Cletus the fetus (those 23 weekers parents expect us to save)

I swear I just about peed myself when I read Cletus the Fetus. I appreciate your sense of humour, even if others might not!

Off the top of my head there's:

Fluffy and Extra-Fluffy, should need no explanation (though a hoyer lift may be in order)

and

Status Dramaticus, for those patient who's behavior is a bit beyond what is really warranted.

I have a caregiver with DKIAS. (Dumb Know-It-All Syndrome.) Yep, she put dish soap in my dishwasher a couple days ago and nearly ruined it. Good thing I came inside early and discovred the suds running out all over my floor. I got after good and proper like. she did that after I warned her to never ever put dish soap in a dish washer.
