It's always interesting to me how a slight misunderstanding of complex(or not really) medical terminology can take on a whole new name. Thought it would be a good thread to share some experiences and "de-code" some vernacular.
Had a patient last week complaining that her brother said he thought she had "scripto." I said I don't know what that is and she replied "you don't believe in scripto? Like when you drink after someone else and your throat gets sore." Scripto = Strep throat
