While I can see the offensive side and this sort of thing is likely going to be assigned to history eventually I suspect there's some value in many. Sometimes if someone's CTD (circling the drain) it may be valuable for the next clinician to understand that, in a way that makes light of what I'd imagine must be fairly depressing to deal with on a routine basis.

I suspect the physio doesn't write that phrase for every patient, there was probably a reason, one not to get too out of shape over.
