From "statim", Latin for immediately.what make your ear canal itch?
Stat - from the Latin statim, is a medical residence meaning "immediately" or, within more recent history, someone has come up next to the backronym: Sooner Than Already There. Example: "Hand me the scalpel Sooner Than Already There." At an even higher smooth of urgency, medical orders within life-threatening situations are sometimes denoted "stat and now".I'm honestly not sure but I thought I'd share this. When you go to a resturant and you pass a tip, I know what that means. TIPS- to insure prompt service.
