Next thing you'll tell me is that Tachylordia is no longer an acceptable diagnosis: "Lordy,lordy,lordy,lordy..."

I never knew the term for it. Although, I have seen it. I believe it's brought on by the same causes as HP; Hispanic Panic.

When I worked in Los Angeles, we referred to ambulatory pts on scene that had sudden neck and back pain upon arrival of EMS as LHP 2.2. As in "Larry H. Parker got me 2.2 million dollars".
 
8) And finally, do not refer to recently deceased persons as being "paws up," ART (assuming room temperature), CC (Cancel Christmas), CTD (circling the drain), DRT (dead right there) or NLPR (no long playing records).


HAHAHAHAHA! cancel Christmas thats awesome!
 
Haha, I have seen this list before... But was worth reading again... prob. laughed as much as I did the first time I read it. Thanks

HIBGIA (had it before, got it again) - Used this one, not the abbriviation but the words in a hospital report!

Stroke patients are NOT "Charlie Carrots." Nor are rescuers to use CCFCCP(Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs) to describe their mental state. This could be used for more than just stroke pts!
