Can I treat you sir?

As a volunteer in Admissions I see documentation including the procedure for which a patient is being admitted. Mostly, this is provided in medical jargon which is meaningless to me.

One of today's admissions, a male, was being admitted for 'advance sling'. I wondered what this might be and looked the term up in an online medical dictionary but the term was not recognised.

Whatever the patient was admitted for I doubt he received the treatment that first came to mind, as represented below.

  1. Thanks for the chuckle. I'd hate to be the one coming to the ER stating that my Viagra was too much of a good thing and that I've had an erection for over 6 hours now.
