Jargon & Abbreviations - Page 11

Sadly, a lot of the abbreviations and jargon I use are work related, blah. But I wanted to comment on GTG/G2G. I always used GTG for "Got to go" and G2G for "Good to go" otherwise it always got confusing.

I work at a hospital and holy hell the acronyms. There's a freaking acronym for everything.
Off the top of my head, MR (mental retardation), DO (disorder), IMTP (individualized multidisciplanry treatment plan), SAD (this one actually stands for 2 different disorders and you have to use context to figure it out - seasonal affective disorder and schizo-affective disorder), DARP (describe, action, response, and plan), RACE (fire drill stuff. Hell if i know what it stands for), HTO (harm to others), HTS (harm to self), and many others are just part of my everyday jargon now. Then there's all the medical shorthand like all the letters with a line above them to represent various things like 'with' or 'without' or 'history', most of which don't make any sense whatsoever. I think a lowercase c with a line over it is 'with'. Hx is history.

Well, that's bureaucracy for you. I'm sure a medical hospital has an even more bewildering array of nonsensical acronyms.
