German medical abbreviations like SH# re, probably needing a PFNA or HTEP. Gotta prepare the papers for the AHB. Translates to broken femur at the right hip, needs a (huge) Nail or artificial hip to fix. Insurance usually pays for rehab right after the surgery so we fill out the application for that.

Also, patient has very low BI, probably won't get the AHB. Let's search for a KZP.

Yo, 4B has a UI with MRSA now, on top of the massive PE post SAB. We might need to up the Nor and increase the PEEP. But I think it`s time to talk with the NOK about DNR. Will be a turf without bounce back soon.

I have no medical background, but...

"[Patient in room 4B] has a urinary tract infection with Methicillin-resistant Staph now, on top of the massive pulmonary embolism post"... surgery, I assume? Not sure about the AB. Second sentence I don't get, but third is "...time to talk with Next of Kin about Do Not Resucitate. Will be burying them if they don't start recovering soon."

That pretty close?

I mean everyone knows you won't get the AHB if you got low BI... duh.

Man, I work in the medical field and sometimes people go too far with the abbreviations. It can be hard wading through a patient's history when the person that wrote up the history decides to use every single abbreviation, even uncommonly used ones. And then there are no additional explanatory notes or history documents to tell what it means.
