Patient Abbreviations


Recommended Posts

I was listening to a doctor on the radio the other day and the discussion was about abbreviations on patients' notes put there by medical staff describing character and condition; e.g. NFN - Normal For Norfolk (could be Notts). SLK - Strange Looking Kid. These were mentioned as were far more. It all sounded a bit smug to me and I thought of one or two I can suggest for doctors I have known. TBI - Treatment By Internet for one who suggested such a thing to me. NEC - No Eye Contact. NPS - No Personal Skill. I'm sure others could think of more.
