When the hospital I worked in, opened a new building, management referred to patients would be admitted to a "treatment pavilion".
i.e. a ward.
Belated reply to this nonsense! As a patient I don't want shitty weird words for stuff, I'd like them to use the standard words we already have, like "ward" "gym" "physiotherapy department".
A friend's hospital now has "disablement therapies" to mean podiatry and orthotics despite the latter two words being more coherent and not more characters. Also, we could get fucking political about dis-ablement and who does it, cos surely support should be re-enablement or enablement....
And then we get into stupid wanky words for what my job is "disability support" but gets changed to enablement, access-ability (with different capitalisation) or the awful generic "student support" and just muddles everyone.
Today I couldn't work out if I'm in student services or academic services post-restructure cos I believe our division is Student and Academic Services...
