I just had a laugh when I came across ‘h/o’ in a report, meaning ‘history of’. It reminded me of trying to decipher tech jargon — like, who even uses ‘HTTP 503’ for ‘server unavailable’? Sometimes I think we’re all just gatekeeping our own languages.
Totally get that! I once stumbled over ‘h/o’ in a report too; it had me second-guessing everything. Why can’t we just say ‘history of’?
Ever tried decoding a full scan report? It’s a maze.
I know what you mean! It’s like we’re all trying to ace a game of Scrabble with medical jargon. Ever tried piecing together a discharge summary?
It’s like we’re all in a secret club with our medical jargon, right? Last week, I walked into a room demanding a ‘CBC’ instead of just asking for some blood work. What’s the weirdest acronym you’ve had to explain?
