patient

Showing patience; someone who is able to wait for a long period of time with little or no complaint, despite obstacles and difficulties. Considered a virtue. Someone who dosen't bitch as often.

Patient Funk

This all-encompassing term is used to describe any one of the many contagions, odors or bodily fluids that potentially fester upon a patient (typically a physical therapy patient). When a particularly rampant cold spreads through a healthcare clinic, it can often be attributed to "patient funk." When one's sweater smells like feet after a hard day's work, blame patient funk. When a foul odor wafts through the waiting room, across the gym, and into the charting room, one can be sure there is patient funk to be shared...
Thing 1: Dude, what's this brown crusty stuff on my khakis?
Thing 2: Ten bucks says it's patient funk. Hope it's not poo.

Thing 2: I've had this cough for 3 months now. WTF?

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.
