I do the same thing when I see SOB too!

There are all the other abreviations: dx=diagnosed, tx=transplant, abx=antibiotics.

How about the ones you used as a kid? Chest PT was "thumps" in my house. Albuterol was "wheezy medicine". I remember going up to my mom and saying "I need my wheezy medicine and breathing machine mom!"
