What is STAT?

The term "stat" is an abbreviation for the Latin word statim, meaning "immediately." Doctors probably use this because it sounds a little cooler than "pronto." The origin of the practice is obscure, at least to us. I mean, doctors couldn't say "quick" or "now" or something like that? However, we have it on good authority that this is not simply an invention of the scriptwriters for "ER," and that doctors actually do say it.SDSTAFF Hawk, who spends a lot of time hanging around in hospitals, says he's noticed that younger doctors tend to dispense with tradition and just say "now," a trend toward clarity of medical expression that we're sure won't last long.
