After a short stay at the North Middlesex Hospital, though impressed with the quality of care, the small ward in the new building, and even the food, I was still delighted to hear I could go home. So I got dressed and packed my bag.
"What about the TTAs?", said the nurse?" Apparently the doctors had forgotten to arrange the vital TTAs - including fresh dressings and medication. "Fine. I'll wait. This is a hospital so that should take, say ten minutes?" About two hours later I was on my way home.
I forgot to ask what the letters TTA stood for. Google didn't help. Anyone know?
A friend suggested "To Take Away". Someone else said that at their workplace everything was now a TLA. (Three-letter- acronym.)
BTW on HOL Injetpack recently told us that s/he worked for an NDPB. A four-letter-acronym I'd never come across before. Have they changed the rules of Scrabble again?
