Open Blog Post

My open blog post that I also forgot the post along with the Learning the Language post. It has to do with the jargon that was previously discussed. Stating that a dog is PU or HBC is just a faster way to say they're dead or seriously injured and also let the other vets know what caused the injury, in the HBC or HBO case. Medical jargon is widely used in all medical fields and although it differs from practice to practice, the reasoning behind it stays the same. Say the doctors are treating a patient and the mother comes in hysterical. They cannot tell the nurse that they may not make it with the mother standing right there so to get the necessary action done and not disturb the mother any further they resort to jargon.
