We use a lot of abbreviations and acronyms in medicine, but the other day I was introduced to one I hadn’t heard before.

While discussing the care of a severely ill very elderly patient, a colleague said:

“MFB, CFD”.

“Huh”?

“MFB, CFD” he again said. The blank look on my face must have transmitted my incoherence, so he elaborated:

“Measure For Box, Call For Dirt”.

Just another medical acronym for my vocabulary.
