Medical Slang: Bury the Hatchet, Freud Squad and Hasselhoff! February 10, 2009
Posted by Dr. Bertalan Meskó in Fun, Humor, Medicine.trackback
Wikipedia has a great list of terms of medical slang. I just wanted to highlight a few of these to make you laugh…
- Bury the Hatchet – accidentally leaving a surgical instrument inside a patient
- Freud Squad – the psychiatry department
- Hasselhoff – a term for any patient who shows up in the emergency room with an injury for which there is a bizarre explanation.
- TEETH – tried everything else, try homeopathy
- UBI – “Unexplained Beer Injury”
Do you know more?
A couple of Australian ones:
FLK: Funny Lookin’ Kid (a particular kind of weird facial proportion)
BND: Bloody Near Dead
And from a kiwi: TF BUNDY: Totally f-cked but not dead yet
