Medical - Medical (general) / insect bite on leg | | Latin term or phrase: stat post | Stat post vulnus morsum cum insecti cruris lat. dex.
Could 'stat post' mean anything here other than the situation of condition after the bite on the leg?
Thanks, David |

Here's a "med friendly" website definition:

Status post
Means following or after. It is frequently abbreviated as s/p. For example, if a patient has recently had back surgery, the doctor may write in the medical chart that that "The patient is s/p back surgery." The term "status post" or "s/p" is used to alert others as to conditions or surgeries that the patient has had, usually recently. Status post comes from the Latin word "status" meaning "condition" and the Latin word "post" meaning "after." Put the two words together and you have "after condition."
---Or, according to this, it is the state or condition following an intervention.

status/post
adjective Medtalk Clinical shorthand referring to a state that follows an intervention–eg, S/P CABG, S/P cholecystectomy S/P mastectomy, S/P orchiectomy, or condition–eg, S/P acute MI
----One more website I found here that says the word "stat" alone is short for "statim" and means "immediately."

Stat' in medical parlance is actually not an acronym; it's short for statim, the Latin word for 'immediately.'
