The construction of her acronym shows how brilliant (and snarky about acronyms) she truly is.
- tenderpalms 13y agoIt's common practice in peer-reviewed cardiology publications. Some titles are clearly constructed around the acronym (I guess the cool kids call that a "backronym"). We even cite the abbreviated studies (like PIOPED) in our medical notes, though I'll admit I don't enjoy doing it. I specifically avoid speaking "like a doctor" around my kids; it induces a cringe like no other when I see teenagers trying to speak like an experienced MD. That said, this Gianna girl seems well-composed, poetry and all.
- eridius 13y agoI can't find the acronym. Is it in the video? Because I'm not watching a video.
- idupree 13y agoI think this is the title (I had to web-search) https://www.usc.edu/CSSF/Current/Projects/33084.pdf https://www.usc.edu/CSSF/Current/Projects/33084.pdf "EMIT: Does iPad Use in Patients with Implantable Cardiac Rhythm Devices Cause Electromagnetic Interference?" (EMIT looks intended to be an acronym, but what do the letters stand for?)
- btilly 13y agoAt a guess, "Electro Magnetic Interference Test".
