Having searched the archive and also the web without success, can anyone of you enlightened, erudite, posters(?) answer the following:
Given the phrase
“That man needs an IV drip, stat!”.
[Now I know that “stat” means immediately (or sooner).]
What does “stat” actually mean…?
While I’m here, does anyone remember a song called “Shakedown Street”, and who sang it?
niceone,
bill
“stat” is short for the Latin “statim”, which means “at once”, “instantly”, “immediately”
“Shakedown Street” is by the Grateful Dead.
Thanks for the info, people.
Is there anything that SDMB members dont know?
Here’s an excellent source of information.
Or you could have cracked open a dictionary.
The above from Merriam Webster.
Don’t tell me the SD ain’t got no heart…
You just gotta poke around.
Just wait till you get our bill, irish.
Shakedown Street? Never heard of it.
