Secret code of Doctors revealed

The inventive language created by doctors the world over to insult their patients - or each other - is in danger of becoming extinct.
So says a doctor who has spent four years charting more than 200 colourful examples.

GOMER: Get Outta My Emergency Room

What they don't tell you is WHEN these terms are used.... To my knowledge, these terms are generally used in nurse's stations or other secured areas, or when a patient is under anesthesia or is in an otherwise non-conscious state.

It is part of dark humor.... if you worked around death, dying, and disorder as your CAREER, 24/7/365, you need some humor release.. doctors are human too!

Dark humor is most certainly not intended to humiliate or defame a patient's rights and honors which they are entitled to have respected at ALL times.

When a doc says, "Looks like this one's a GOMER", some get a chuckle because it is referring to the person as not requiring any significant medical care (not even stitches...here's 400mg ibuprofen good night). These particular individuals showing up in ERs are pulling doctors away from patients who are in REAL need of intervention. I do believe they have the right to be treated, however the SYSTEM is set up so that they can get away with making enough drunken noise (disturbing the ER for hours at a time) while they wait for their care.

Often times a typical GOMER will say something drunkenly like, "boy you guys are LOVIN me aren't ya".

Its a game with a rare few.

I think a lot of professions have some variation of dark humor. Anyone that deals with the public will encounter a lot of crazy people, and they will develope their inside jokes.
