Be careful with abbreviations
Having practiced medicine for many years, I am keenly aware of the pitfalls in using abbreviations and acronyms.
However, I just learned how "RIT" can be confusing. In my blog entries, I always write "radioimmunotherapy (RIT" so that the reader clearly knows what the acronym means.
I just read of a patient having received "CHOP + rit". In this case, the "rit" stood for Rituxan, NOT RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY.
We must ever be vigilant when we see abbreviations and acronyms.
