ya, call the Dr's office and tell the receptionist to schedule you regarding U.M.A. When she asks what it is tell her "A medical term the Dr should know and it's not UMA Therman." then when Dr comes in with his puzzeled look you can inform him!  Watch him use the acronym on your chart too under Assessment!  Pt has UMA. Recheck in 6 mo if no improvement.  LOL  Thats the greatest term!  I love it!

May be I should use that term when I go back to the doctor. I would love to see how he reacts when terms are thrown at him that he just doesn't know.
