TFTB- too fat to breathe
PBTB- pine box to bedside
LGFTD- looks good from the door

There are a lot of colloquial abbreviations we use to describe patients or treatment orders... things that we wish we could put in the chart but for various legal and social reasons we don't.

Any others?

From http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3159813.stm -

Dr Fox recounts the tale of one doctor who had scribbled TTFO - an expletive expression roughly translated as "Told To Go Away" - on a patient's notes. He told BBC News Online: "This guy was asked by the judge what the acronym meant, and luckily for him he had the presence of mind to say: 'To take fluids orally'."
 
pt ptfo = leaving against medical advice
 
Don't forget the DFO- Done fell out.
And it's cousin the FOIC- Fell out in church
 
DRT/ART=dead right there/approaching room temperature
DFOA=done fell out again
 
A common treatment plan for drunks:

MTF = metabolize to freedom
 
CCFCCP is a poster on this forum and a commonly used term in my neck of the woods (never written on a chart, of course).

CCFCCP - coo-coo-for-coco-puffs
 
CTD- circling the drain
DRT- dead right there
KFOed- knocked the F out
 
LOL-FDGB (Little old lady fall down go boom)

AMF-YOYO (Adios mother f*cker, you're on your own)

TMB (Too many birthdays)

SOCMOBRTB (Sitting on corner minding own business reading the bible)

BIBA (Brought in by ambulance)

TBD (Total body dolor-used primarily for middle aged hispanic women with acute exacerbatons of fibromyalgia)

MDTU (more demented than usual)

So many more I can't think of now
