DLD - daddy's little darling, or MLD mummy's little darling for those nasty little dogs that bite but their owners love them and wont have a word said against them.

DSTO - dog smarter than owner

TAPS - already mentioned

ROAT - runs off at the mouth, for owners who will keep you talking for hours.

CLS clever little s**t

NRSE - needs referral somewhere else! - difficult client

MYF - mind your fingers

DIC - dog in the cooler

PD - pentoject deficient

45 - this was used to denote somebody who had come in on the 45 bus , and had probably left their brain when they got off

loads more - will have to try and remember them. You shouldnt be using these now, you will have to explain them if clients have copies of their notes but still see them in use a lot

There are quite a lot of general medical abbreviations.... Apparently similar ones are used in the NHS!

Hi, I have seen PITA (Pain In The Ass) and TAPS (Thick As Pig S***) before but it wasn't a very good practice!
