Alphabet soup

This was the cut and pasted medical history of a patient I saw:

HTN, PAF, CHF, GERD, OSA, CAD, DVT, PE, PMR, COPD, HLD, PAD, DJD, CVA

I thought it was quite an impressive list of acronyms.

    Don't know what's sadder. That list, or being able to interpret most of it without a second thought.

    Worse than that is not being a practicing MD and knowing most of it too ...

    Surely the catch-all term "vasculopath" ought to cover most of these. :)
