An excerpt from The Joe Bob Report For The Week Ending January 3 2004 (http://www.joebobbriggs.com)
(scroll down to get to the article excerpted below)
" Dr. Adam Fox, a specialist registrar at the Child Allergy Unit at St. Mary's Hospital in London, has been compiling a dictionary of the medical terms doctors don't want you to know about. For example, your chart might be marked "UBI" for "Unexplained Beer Injury," "PAFO" for "Pissed And Fell Over," or "ATFO" for "Asked To F*ck Off." Most people know what a Code Brown is (a fecal incontinence emergency), but do you know these?"
"... "Rule of Five": the principle that, if more than five of the patient's orifices are obscured by tubing, he has no chance."
"... "Pumpkin positive": a brain so small that a penlight shone into the patient's mouth will make his empty head light up like a Halloween pumpkin."
and my favorite, " "TEETH": Tried Everything Else, Try Homeopathy."
...gotta do something to vent a little stress, y'know?
