Had a previous resident cry on the phone because he saw somebody kill themselves. Welcome to medicine, shit happens. Only proper advice I could give was move on to the next patient. He's a doctor, we see lots of fricked up shit. Get over it and go back to your job. Just have a nurse clean up the mess.
Doctors are fricking weak nowadays

It's not a medical term it's just Latin r-slur. I thought you doctors had to learn Latin and not just learn how it's used in medicine.

In situ is a very specific term. To reduce confusion we pretty much never use that term because it's primarily used in fertility clinics or for me FISH. There's also no reason to use in situ when we can just give the anatomical site.

It's not a very specific term. It's Latin and used so commonly there's a dictionary definition for it in English.
Well I'm not a doctor. You'd think you would use context clues and not assume a meaning that you admit you never use.
I used it to mean where they were injured, the fact that you haven't realized this meaning yet is.... telling.

We all know what it means. We just don't use it. We know quite a bit of Latin given pretty much everything medical is Latin based.
We use context clues when we're reviewing a case. Official documentation in the patients medical record cannot have any form of confusion so we don't use context.
