Bad Smart and others
I'll bet most of ya'll have seen the acronym BAD that stands for Bipolar Affective Disorder. Today may have been the first time I've seen it. I guess of all the deseases in the world, it's just fitting that I inherited this one. :winky:
I guess I could have inherited Frequent Arthritic Renal Tendonitis FART. Of course I made that one up. Or this one Self-Monitoring, an*l Retentive Toad SMART. And I made this one up. I was reading about a guy with Bipolar today and he said he's vanilla now that he takes his meds. I also feel vanilla on lithium. But it's much better than going from the tip top extreme chocolate, with chocolate syrup, peanuts, sprinkles, glazed walnuts, reeses pieces.......all the way down to a bowl full of packing peanuts (styrofoam). Yeah I'm BAD :eek:...and I really like my vanilla :D |

YEP, THOSE ACRONYMS CAN BE ANNOYING!! Also ironic! Like someone who is oppositional is ODD :rolleyes:... Believe me, I just retired after five years as a Disability Claims Adjudicator for Social Security, and the amount of acronyms that the medical professionals use are WAY excessive - like OOB - 'out of bed'. It took me awhile to figure out a few of them, but reading medical records all day makes for a very interesting job :eek:. Boy, I can sure tell you some stories....
Off topic, sorry :rolleyes: I never liked acronyms :D. |

I don't remember. I think sometimes the dx'es get modified -- after a while the pdoc could add a secondary dx or "down grade" the dx" by getting rid of the psychotic part. M. |
