I often have a hard time searching the internet for acronyms. One helpful thing is to search for the acronym in a search engine and then add "medical abbreviation." For example, "MAC medical abbreviation." This will usually take me to the correct definition.

@hopeful33250 I agree z we can find these with a search. But should our members, especially new ones, have to do this to de sphere what we are talking about?

@hopeful33250 I think many of us do have the time and energy to search but some do not. Having experienced the need to and noticed others questions I realized we have to spell all out.
However, nice that we have the internet to search these things out.
