Interesting discussion, folks. Just so you know, the censorship is built into the board, has been there for years, but knowing this software, was probably broken before the last update... either that or the elves have too much time on their hands again, so they're editing the posts.

Roy, using abbreviations which have been used in medicine for something like 500 years in a modern hospital is now illegal in most states, and the Hospital Bad Abbreviation Police (H-BAP) is at this very moment on their way to haul you away to the Joint Commission secret re-education camp.. where they're going to repeat over and over at you until you confess your sins and repent that "Pain is the fifth vital sign!"

Seriously, when they outlawed the standard medical abbreviations, I threatened to write all of my orders in Apothicary units. (Anybody remember how many CC's are in a Drachm? The reason aspirin is 81mg is that's one GRAIN. I can dispense fluids in minims.. the nurses will LOVE that).

<sigh> been awake WAAAaay too long.. today was almost like residency (only without the lectures to fall asleep in or the easy paycheck)

Be well, people. If the censorship is more offensive than the words censored, I'll try to turn it off.
