Medical Primer

Currently I am on a rotation with the Infectious Diseases team at a local unnamed hospital. There are a few phrases that spell doom or evoke other responses when encountered in one of your patients' records.

One is "groin abscess."

Another is "foul smelling discharge."

...In my world right now, those are translated "Good morning," and "Welcome to work."
