Nurses
I'm a doctor and there is one phrase which fills me with loathing, hatred and dread all at once;

"doctor, just to let you know..."

examples from my short career

mrs smith is a bit chesty - mrs smith was in crushing heart failure. She was propmtly admitted to the coronary care unit.

Mr jones looks a bit peaky - mr jones was dead

mrs White has had a bit of bleeding - mrs White had emptied half her circulating volume into her catheter bag, onto the bedsheets and the floor. She went to theatre and then to intensive care

miss pink's blood sugar is a bit high - miss pink had a glucose of 50 and was in diabetic ketoacidosis and was very very sick. She went to the high dependency unit.

Mrs blue is in agony - mrs blue had asked for some paracetamol

mr green isn't talking very much - mr green has had a massive stroke

Mr yellow is a bit constipated - mr yellow had large bowel obstruction and had a laparotomy to remove half his colon that afternoon
