Doctor speak

I remember how annoyed Michael was when the oncologist claimed that Michael was unremarkable. I just had to laugh, unremarkable is doctor speak for "there is nothing wrong with the patient". I told him unremarkable is what you want to be when it comes to health.
Michael had a visit from a doctor friend and his family. The doctor commented to Michael, were you on the floor before you went to ICU? Michael though that meant he had fallen on the floor and was very confused. I translated, on the floor means "a regular hospital floor not a specialized unit like ICU." Yes, Michael was on the floor before going to ICU.
