There used to be only single society guidelines:
AHA Guidelines. Or, ADA Guidelines.
Then we progressed to two organizations:Â AHA/ACC Guidelines.
Soon the heart rhythm boys wanted in:Â AHA/ACC/HRS Guidelines.
But last night, I saw the this:
ASA/ACCF/AHA/AANN/AANS/ACR/ASNR/CNS/SAIP/SCAI/SIR/SNIS/SVM/SVS Guidelines. (For the treatment of blood vessels in the neck.)
Geez.

Nice post, on jargon in medicine (which I understand better than EP). I wonder how close to infinity does the number of TLA’s in medicine reach?
