Comment Mistress forwarded me a link to a glossary of medical jargon – of course, “Hasselhoff” makes it on the list:
Hasselhoff:
A patient presenting to accident and emergency with an injury with a bizarre explanation. (After the former Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff, who suffered a freak injury when he hit his head on a chandelier while shaving. The broken glass severed four tendons as well as an artery in his right arm, which required immediate surgery.4)
A day without Hasselhoff is like a day without sunshine.
I’m finally reading the copy of Don’t Hassle The Hoff that I won for the LOLHoff and I haven’t gotten to that accident yet… oh, can’t wait. Snort.
The book is so bad it’s almost good. He’s got no writing style whatsoever. It’s all passive and told in the dullest possible way… yet for some reason, I’m still reading. I guess that’s good writing, then?
*scratches head*
Where do people get this stuff? Don’t HIPPA regulations apply to celebs?
I thought of all the SBs yesterday when they re-created the “Knight Rider” car driving onto a moving semi stunt on “Mythbusters” marathon yesterday.
Happy Holidays!
Luci, I know this might come as a surprise to you, but HIPPA laws don’t apply to the BRITISH Medical Journal.
And lucky the British Medical Journal is—the inanities of HIPPA make me want to hit to head with a chandalier while shaving my legs.
I meant of course hit my head not to head.
