The wound of compounding was closed in a carefully layered fashion.

Anafuckingtomic

Anafuckingtomic or AFT is a term used to describe a perfect fracture surgery restoring the bones to their anatomic position.

Nice work my friend. That ankle looks anafuckingtomic. You can't even see the fractures anymore. AFT!

Tourniquet Resistant Patient

A tourniquet resistant patient (TRP) that is so morbidly obese that a pneumatic tourniquet, despite the highest safe setting, will not be able to adequately restrict blood flow to the extremity to allow bloodless surgery. The sheer girth of the extremity precludes effective tourniquet use.

I wouldn't be so confident. Just looking at this patient's leg makes me think she is a Tourniquet Resistant Patient. You'll be awash in blood despite the tourniquet. Good luck my friend.

Methequity

The widening use of methamphetamines amongst non-white populations while still conserving a strong base of traditional Caucasian meth users leading to more equal outcomes amongst the races.

In a world increasingly concerned with enhancing equity amongst races and genders, the widening use of methamphetamines in Hispanic and African-American cultures while simultaneously conserving the historic high rates of meth use amongst the traditional Caucasian user, has been deemed by many experts as methequity.
