Had to laugh at a few - and a couple like BlameStorm aren’t unique to medicine.
BTW, FLK from that link was taughtto me as FLB. The pediatrician who announced it in a new parent’s class said "Of course you’ll find your baby beautiful. No one would ever tell you since an FLB is always associated with an FLM or FLF and of course the folks involved have already accepted the result."
FLB - Funny Looking Baby
FLM - Funny Looking Mom
FLF - Funny Looking Father....
BTW - the fact that he said it to a group of new parents was one of the reasons (a lesser reason but a reason) we picked him as our pediatrician :-) |

Back in the day, when I was a volunteer EMT, two terms stood out for me. Gomer, and heydoc. Gomer stood for "Get Outa My Emergency Room" — referring mostly to those who used the ER for a hobby. (We had one particular family who managed to find a couple of reasons a week for some family member to be transported [free — they were on state aid] to the ER. Usually non-specific stomach pain. The county sheriff drove them back. NEVER anything wrong with them, they just liked the ride and the attention.) Also derelicts, drunks, and druggies whose problems couldn’t really be addressed by an ER but the kept showing up and using resources anyway. Some of these were also "heydocs". That is, they shouted "Hey, doc!" at anyone who walked by them wearing scrubs and/or possessing a stethoscope.
Both categories sucked up waaaaay to many ER resources, aspecially time and attention of all personnel. |
