I just love the gallows humour of hospitals. Having spent a lot of time in the chemo ward with my partner, there are precious few belly laughs to be had.
My ex-wife once wrote on a social work report "The father presented as a TGB" (Thieving Gypsy Bastard)
We should work with these guys to maintain the humourous acronym. Any other examples?

I was told the larger patients are sometimes designated as being a DTS, danger to shipping.
But being a Norfolk boy, NFN will always be my favourite. In a previous life as a scientist, I named a fungus NFN which I had mutated to within an inch of its existence. And it still looked more human than some of the residents of places like Stalham, Reedham and South Walsham.

Here's a few from my experience:
Diagnosis; FIIK. (F*cked if I know.Sometimes seen as NAFC).
NTSB: Nice tits, small brain.
STI - Supra-tentorial insufficiency i.e. no brain.
My favourite - Widdy - 'why isn't s/he dead yet?'
Oh, and if you see 'IBS' on your notes, it isn't 'irritable bowel syndrome' it's 'inbred shit-head'.Posted 7 years ago # -
What?!! No wonder that the treatment I've had all these years hasn't cured my IBS!
