What does WHOL stand for in patient chart?

[Esme12, ASN, BSN, RN]

As others have said, the most logical answer is Worst Headache of  the (patient's) Life.

That said, this is the reason non-approved abbreviations should not be used in official charting.

Worst Headache Of Life... And no it’s not an approved abbreviation.

I work in an ICU that includes neuro and have SAH pts all the time...I couldn't figure out what WHOL was!!!

Yes, this is why it's not a good idea to make up abbreviations.

I spent the first 5 years of my career in Neurology/Neurosurgery and also never heard this abbreviation before.

^^^ Yeah I actually worked in Neuro before too--floor for 1.5 yrs, that hospital's SICU for 2. Never saw WHOL there either.
