Article said:

Dr Fox recounts the tale of one doctor who had scribbled TTFO - an expletive expression roughly translated as "Told To Go Away" - on a patient's notes.

[Sciroccology]

I didn't think Dr Fox was a real, actual doctor.

I was told by a Dr friend that you only really need to worry if you see DMTM on the top of your notes. Drinks More Than Me.

[mybrainhurts]

DBI refers to "Dirt Bag Index", and multiplies the number of tattoos with the number of missing teeth to give an estimate of the number of days since the patient last bathed.

I have a doctor friend who gives PBE's (pointless breast examinations) to fit birds.

PH has a new favorite dialect.

"If that is the case, perhaps the delights of a "Whopper with Cheese", "Handbag positive" or "Coffin dodger" could be lost forever. "

I had to google "Whopper with Cheese" ....

"Double Whopper with Cheese - Obese female with genital thrush"
