High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Zebra is a medical slang term for an obscure and unlikely diagnosis from ordinary symptoms.It derives from the aphorism "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras", which was probably coined by Dr. Theodore Woodward, a former professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, School of Medicine.A similar term for an obscure and rare diagnosis in medicine is fascinoma.Medical slang is a form of slang used by doctors, nurses, paramedics and other hospital or medical staff. Its central aspect is the use of facetious but impressive-sounding acronyms and invented terminology to describe patients, co-workers or tricky situations. It serves, in other words, as a convenient if often gruesome code between medical professionals. Medical slang is to be found in numerous languages but in English, in particular, it has entered popular culture via TV hospital/forensic dramas such as Casualty, Holby City, ER, House MD, NCIS, Scrubs and Green Wing.
