ASOC, you have been added to my ER Nursing stories ping list. Thanks for the comment! We use "gorked" almost exclusively to refer to a brain-damaged or brain-dead patient.

OTOH, when referring to a patient who has been rendered unconscious or sedated by medication, we use the term "snowed" (as in the "snow" you see on the TV screen when the station goes off the air). Perhaps I should create an ER Glossary of Terms. Some of the words are entertaining, but many of the terms might be offensive to less understanding souls, even if not meant to be so. It's the "trench humor," you understand.

LOL

I used to say "I Grok" - to convey a sense of understanding.

Now, I use simplified American Standard English or depending on the audience, a simpler "Yo, word"

Please ping me when you have the glossary.

Oh, hell, just add me to your ping list...
