Slang among physicians, especially those in training. In verb form, it refers to ordering every radiologic and lab test imaginable to diagnose a confounding (or at some institutions, not-so-confounding) illness. In noun form (also known as cheech-bomb), it refers to the panoply of tests itself.
For example the rheumatologic cheech (rheum cheech) may consist of ordering anti-ANA, anti dsDNA, anti-RO, anti-La, anti-histone, anti-scl70, RF, anti-RNP, complement, biopsies of the lungs/kidneys, imaging of the lungs/kidneys/brain.

I admitted a patient suspected of having lupus the other day, and the attending wanted me to order the rheum cheech.

Get the Cheef mug.A beastly hockey player in the NHL, plays for the San Jose Sharks. He wears the number 14. He's from a weird place in Canada called Moose Factory. He won the Maurice Rocket Richard Trophy in the 05-06 season with 56 goals. He had 5 hat tricks during the season as well. He holds Sharks franchise records for goals in a season, PP goals in a season, and hat tricks in a season. Since his 05-06 breakout season, his production has fallen posting 37 goals the following year, and 23 the year after that. GOOO SHARKS!!! CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!!!
