    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.

      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.
