The (previously fit and well) really adds to the comedic vibe
I’ve never suddenly rested in my life – this is my new goal.
Oh my, the Gen-z doctors are arriving.
Time to go have a lie down and try not to feel old.
I laughed way more than I should have. My condolences to your SO’s father mate
What’s MI?
Father Rip Suddenly sounds like something Father Todd Unctious would’ve come up with
Audiotypist forgot to clean up the doctor’s (voice recording) comments. 😅
Died is shorter than R.I.P as well.
There are a great many dark acronyms in use in medical notes. Some of these are self-explanatory:
* TTFO – Told To Fuck Off (patient has been sent on their way, perhaps after making unreasonable demands)
* FLK – Funny Looking Kid
* PFO – Pissed and Fell Over
* UBI – Unexplained Beer Injury
* TFBUNDY – Totally Fucked But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet (patient has poor prognosis)
RIP in peace
My concern is this is under diagnosis. Has the doctor diagnosed her of being a orphan?!
Using RIP as ‘dead’ is a very UK thing in medicine.
We had my uncles funeral on Friday, they said that my sister had died “frequently” rather than recently.
Pretty normal use in the medical world unfortunately, but fuck i hate it!
This is almost like when a local news reporter wrote that a person who had fainted “woke up unconscious”
This is extremely common and I wouldn’t find it strange phraseology at all. But I read and write these notes all day !
When I saw my dad’s medical records shortly after he died, I remember the final phrase was something sort of poetic as a record of death, but it really frustrates me that I can remember what it said!
Aortic dissection is fucking terrifying.
My sibling’s Dr’s report once said “Father died suddenly at 46, then sister got autism.”
Yup. Dad’s death gave me autism. That’s how that works.
Sending some love and luck to your wife in the midst of this. That’s a concerning genetic history, and it must be a worrying time.
Aortic ruptures run in my family too, aunt died of it, father had an aortic repair in early 60s (as well as having an MI at my age) . Get her an abdominal scan to make sure her aorta hasn’t grown.. earlier it’s caught the better
Ever since I learned about marfan’s and vascular eds having a high chance of causing aortic dissection, I think everyone has that condition like a simpleton.
That’s what I lost my dad to, I m glad your wife has taken your advice and pushed for testing despite how scary that might be to face.
I certainly don’t want to add to that fear at all, but gently asking the question if they could have had something called marfans syndrome if they ve not already discussed that possibility is something I couldn’t not mention having had the testing for it myself.
I guess the secretaries were trying to be more gentle about it perhaps after complaints of how they d written it in the past.
I used to work in patient records and used to read the odd notes from 1900s
Some of the language and terminology you could tell started to fizzle out towards 1990s…
Rest in peace is actually meant for the grieving as they are the ones who struggle to rest in peace. However, one could, I suppose, also say it to a soul who was not moved on.
Is ‘MI’ on the Mother ‘Myocardial Infarction’?
When doctors certify deaths, it’s very common and lovely imo to read in their patients notes ‘RIP’
