Doctor's Slang
Wonder if Salu ever used to do this? 
Yes, I know the article's from 2003 but I'd not heard some of them before...

Re: Doctor's Slang
We were taught to never use those types of abbreviations as patients have a right to have copies of their own notes.....
....anyway, they are derogatory and should thus never even be thought about patients, much less recorded in their notes...

Re: Doctor's Slang
Frankly there are many 'patients' who are even less flattering to members of the medical professions particularly on a Friday or Saturday night at the A&E.

There is only so much of spitting, violent, deranged and drunk people you can take. Doctors and other professions that come into contact with them regularly need someway to release the pressure.
Sometimes there really is only so much you can take.

Re: Doctor's Slang
Some of those terms breach the Data Protection Act. Opinions about people shouldn't be recorded unless they can be substantiated

Re: Doctor's Slang
I wonder what the medics would make of us lot 
Nothing too flippant I'd hope.
Maggie - I'd never forgive a 'trusted professional' again if I knew that they thought, and recorded, like that

I agree with you re. abusive drunks but things like writing 'NFN' if a person is deemed to be a bit thick is a bit much......

Who is Maggie?
Just as well you can't hear what teachers say about their pupils then..or the police..or firemen about the yobs who attack them..or VM techies about customers or anyone else who has a particularly stressful job dealing directly with the public.
I never visit any of the sites set up for pupils to moan and attack teachers..they apparently are quite vicious.
As long as such people are respectful to my face I'm not going to worry about what they say behind my back...Life is way too short.
