Ever pondered the multitude of acronyms we encounter daily? While some are second nature, others might leave us a bit perplexed. I conducted an informal survey among our veterinary technician team to gauge familiarity with the term FAST scan. The result? A few puzzled expressions. And no, it's not a speedy scan!
I also asked my fellow vet techs if they knew how to remember the difference between AD and AS or OD and OS. When I told them that left-handed people were once considered “sinister” and right-handed people were considered dexterous, I witnessed a spark of recognition. Understanding the meanings behind these acronyms can enhance our recall and comprehension of the terms.
