no one knows what the exact acronym wording is... but we know it's a patient booked for double-operator complex high risk percutaneous coronary intervention. It just sounds silly!

Why not 'plan'. Who would have an unstrategic plan?

This term may have had value during the pandemic but it is way over-used now. I'd suggest change, redirect, reconsider, divert, do things differently.

Makes patients seem like a commercial proposition. Or maybe that's the whole point.

Where do these terms even originate? What elephant? Which room? Just say 'the real problem is...'

All these military terms like DEFCON, HUMINT or CODE ORANGE which have crept into our daily lives need to be banned immediately. In the army they mean something. Running out of crisps is NOT a Code Red situation.

It literally means back portion of the body. Why not say that instead of dorsal, especially when talking to patients who have never been to medical school? Nobody ever says 'my dorsal is killing me.'

PRN - medication to be taken as required.... not helpful for mental health patients and no one can ever tell you what PRN actually stands for.

It also stands for hormone replacement therapy and is at times very embarrassing.
