You heard that right:  If a doctor says "can't" or "won't" we have to type them as "cannot" or "will not."  If we get alphabet soup such as "ITP" we have to expand at least the first instance to "idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura."

You need to have a remote shock device keyed to each doctor. Whenever they write an acronym in documentation you have to fill out, you should shock them.  Just a little.

It might take a while, even after it's explained to them, but they will eventually get it.

Even doctors can be taught.
