You are a medical office specialist and have been asked to process medical record release requests for the week. As you were making copies of the medical records, you notice abbreviations written in the chart by a physician and RN that you have never seen or learned in school.  You becoming increasing baffled as you continue to see these types of abbreviations. You finally ask the RN what does the abbreviations mean that were written by her and the physician? The RN explains that OULK means “one ugly looking kid;” CUEF means “clearly uneducated female” and “FAU” meant “fat and ugly.” The RN goes on to say, “no will ever know” and walks away laughing.


How would you respond to this discovery? How would you respond to the RN’s laughter?  How could the R (Respect) in the "PRICE of Success" be used in this situation?
