<VV> RE: Rocket Scientists - acronyms and sleepers

[Bill Hubbell]

Medicine might be able to give the Feds a run for their money.  Here is a 
site that purports to have "the world's largest and most comprehensive 
catalog of biomedical acronyms and abbreviations, containing approximately 
221,000 out of an estimated 240,000 unique acronyms within MEDLINE"
http://invention.swmed.edu/argh/

Try it - you'll be amazed.  When you see how many times the same acronym is 
used for different things, you'll wonder how we physicians ever keep it all 
straight.  Context usually helps, but not always.

(anybody care to guess why 2 MDs ?   Out of 513 possible definitions, only 
two are correct)
