“Yellow submarine,” “Hollywood Code” and “beemer” are not everyday terms that patients hear in a doctor’s office or the emergency room. Little did we know, medical professionals have their own secret medical jargon that they use to describe difficult patients and medical conditions. However, you won’t find these words in an anatomy textbook.
For the first time ever, these secret terms and phrases are explained to patients in The Secret Language of Doctors: Cracking the Code of Hospital Culture (Triumph Books, April 2015) by Dr. Brian Goldman. Dr. Goldman is an emergency physician at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital and has spent years learning and collecting terms that he and his colleagues use on a daily basis. Flip through the pages to discover:
The Secret Language of Doctors: Cracking the Code of Hospital Culture is an enlightening guide to the words that physicians only say to each other behind closed doors. Dr. Goldman not only defines these terms for readers, he also touches on medical ethics and medical professionalism in today’s hospital culture… an issue that has become controversial in the 21st century.
