This sounds like Ural to me. Excellent stuff.

Acronyms are actually the devil. In the medical world it’s been further optimised such that one abbreviation can mean many things. And then people ‘handwrite’ (it’s actually just scribbles) half their documentation so that you can’t read it.

If you are lucky enough to work in a service that captures things from diverse specialities the result is dark comedy.

MRA = magnetic resonance angiogram. Or magnetic resonance arthrogram.

CT = computed tomography. Or corneal transplant.

Those are just the two that caused thousands of dollars of errors in my recent memory, but it’s a daily battle working out what the hell a referral means.
