Here in Washington DC we love acronyms. The entire government is one big acronym....DHS, HHS, DOJ, IRS, etc, etc.In medicine we are similarly guilty of using incomprehensible terminology. We say "ick-see" (ICSI) but spell out IVF. We throw around terms like IUI, DI, AI without a second thought.Last week during a consult a patient confided in me that she had "door." I didn't want to sound like a dolt so I just rolled with it until she asked me again...
