View Full Version : OMFS Hospital Lingo
OMFSCardsFan 07-21-2005, 04:46 PM Anyone picked up any good lingo around the hospital while on service?
Jakes - descriptor for patients that make life miserable for everyone
Trolls - worse than a Jake
Chips - a patient with money or insurance
Got Snuck - sucker-punched
Pone - an abscess
More to come...

I forgot that one. I love it, spoonbill.
toofache32 07-21-2005, 07:35 PM Not OMFS, but I laugh out loud when I think of this one:
Pop-drop: When the family drops off ol' Paw Paw at the ER because they're tired of taking care of him and expect us to find a nursing home for him.

That's funny...might I remind you of the Rams/Seahawks head-to-head outcomes over the last few years? I suppose it's this kind of abstract, bass-ackwards thinking that led you to pursue perio in the first place. Denial is a powerful coping mechanism...

GTFO--obvious
Place Salt on Patient TID--To see if you can get them to move (slug)
An attending once told me to, "Go by and throw a shovel full of dirt on Mr. So-and-so so he'll get used to it."
ISU_Steve 07-24-2005, 07:06 PM At our hospital they write a salt order as follows:
"NaCl, transdermally, copious amounts, Q-shift; notify resident immediately if pt begins to dissolve."
tx oms 07-25-2005, 04:38 PM Bogarting--Taking a case away from another resident, either prior to beginning or during the case
"Hey, Wanker, I'm about to Bogart that third molar from you."
txdent2be2007 07-27-2005, 04:46 PM Getting gooned -- when a lower-level resident or intern sidesteps his upper-level and goes straight to the chief or faculty member for something; also used when a younger guy knows the answer to a question the chief is getting pimped on.
"Dr. X was pimping me hard about ORN and this freakin' intern gooned me."

Shall I begin posting pictures of the teeth you couldn't get out? I'm not sure there is enough bandwidth on this site for all of them. I'll even post pictures of me taking them out for you if you like.
