Hi boys and girls. Here is a story for you. It is a puzzle. It tests your knowledge of medical acronyms. I bet your can't get them all.
I was in the middle of a SSDD shift. Enroute was a LOLLOL who FDGB and apparently was CTD, FTD. She had TMB. She was CODE 3 to our ER. Well of course when she got there she was FOS and FTD, time to MFC. I ran to get the RSI kit when the doctor said she was a DNR. End of story. Literally.
SSDD= Same shit, different day
ReplyDeleteLOLLOL=I usually say LOLOL, but variation of "little old lady [lying] on linoleum".
FDGB= Fall down go boom
I don't know the rest off the top of my head other than, obviously, FOS = full of shit.
Why are you getting a RAPID SEQUENCE INTUBATION (RSI) kit when a patient is Do Not Resuscitate?
CTD = circling the drain
ReplyDeleteFTD - fixin' to die
TMB = too many birthdays
MFC = measure for coffin
MFC similar to "CAB stat!"
ReplyDeleteCAB = Coffin at bedside.
