Is "fl." used in everyday English? I learned what it means yesterday and it seems to be a useful concept if people will understand it.
.
I know the fl. only as for example a notice in biographies, meaning the most fecond time of a poet, writer, artist (from the latin floruit). That what you mean? I am a bit puzzled about that being a "concept"

Yes, that was what I meant. Isn't that a concept? I call the time of birth for a person a concept also.

I'd call those facts rather than concepts.

Well, the actual time of birth is a fact but how can you call the concept "time of birth" for a fact? "time of birth" is a thing that is built up of other things (time, person, birth) and seems to match the classical theory of concepts as described in http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/concepts/.

Oh, gosh .... does that mean people will have to stop screaming "stat" at each other??

Bummer.

Now they're trying to say that we don't need to order labs stat, since they say that they will get results just as quickly. So, the first day I heard this, I did not order the Na stat for an ECT case. We sat around for half an hour waiting after we called repeatedly and were finally told that it was being run routine, since i hadn't ordered it stat. Morons.

Oh, that is so much crap. The labs always run the stat orders first .... and when they have 60 electrolyte panels to run in the morning, even at a minute or two each, that still puts old Mr. 60 anywhere from an hour to two hours out from the time it comes into the lab. Then, you have to consider the stat orders that are going to come in in the interim, and that pushes the last of the routine run out even further.

Back when I was in school, I was working in the blood bank. We always had doctors ordering stat crossmatches, even when they really weren't. One day we got four of them in at the same time. So, I just called each doctor, told them to work out the order among themselves and get back to us when they had decided the real medical priority. That approach worked so beautifully .... they had one guy call us back and give us the order of priority for the work, and it was all done to everyone's satisfaction.
