My instructor had a good term for the use of an Oxygen Cylinder as a means of self defense. "Oxygen Administration via Osmosis".

I had an instructer that would always rate our findings by saying "So, where does this lie on the good bad scale, good meaning good, and bad meaning bad..."

This is probaly a good place to throw in the B.A.D. pt, too, "body all destroyed." there's another thread that has acronyms, recently...

In my EMT class back in 1990, our instructor was imparting some alphabet soup on us. Remember your As, Bs and Cs... but dont forget D and E. At that time it was disabilities and exposures.

Some said, well what is next? Our instructor responded, FGH... F%^&ing Get to the Hospital. That still brings a smile to my face.

Even in addition to that, I like it even more when they walk up to the drivers side door and try to open it. I make sure it's locked and try to feverishly find an "invisible" object behind the seat while they wait impaitently followed up with an "oops sorry, I didn't see you there."

If I'm driving and they do that, I park the oposite to where they point, I let them tell all their story first and then say "You'd better talk to my partner, I'm driving!"

My two current favorites are as follows:

DDPI: Death Despite Paramedic Interference

and in relation to the massive number of GSW's, a memo was recently posted at work stating the following:

"Attention all ALS field providers, the term GSW is no longer approved for use in the system when charting. It should now be referred to as an Involuntary trans-cutaneous lead bolus"

Sounds like management may actually finally be developing a sense of humor

One of our most common field "diagnosis" (actually recognized by the E/D) is WADAO - Weak And Dizzy All Over. This condition can be either acute or chronic.

This could be attributed to what the standing attendant does when the driver takes a turn at speed, a.k.a. "Highway Surfin'. " Thank god for handrails.

We have trams in our sate as a major public transport means.

If you've ever riden in one standing and survived without a handrail you are perfectly suited to highway surfing!!!
