British medical slang; sibling of PFO.

Variants PFO

What does PAFO stand for?

'Pissed And Fell Over' — British medical slang for a patient who was drunk and fell, a variant of the older PFO ('Pissed and Fell Over').

Is PAFO a real medical term?

No. It's unofficial ward slang, not an approved abbreviation, and shouldn't appear in formal notes given it insults the patient.

Is PAFO offensive?

Yes, mildly — 'pissed' means drunk in British English and the phrase mocks the patient, so it's jokey rather than clinical.
