Definitions

1

Mock acronym written into notes as a plan when a patient has been worked up to death, treated with everything, and nothing has shifted. Stands for 'Tried Everything Else, Try Homeopathy' — a swipe at both the impossible case and at homeopathy as a last-resort placebo. Pure dark-humour catharsis; never actually meant as a treatment plan.

“Six admissions this year, no diagnosis — plan: TEETH.”
