    Hi Jonathan,

    I can answer a few of your medspeak questions: morphine is a painkiller, as is Fentanyl (10 times stronger than morphine, I think). ASA is acetyl salicylic acid, or aspirin. ICU is intensive care unit, PACU is post acute care unit, LTAC is long term acute care. Foley is a urinary catheter. Code Stroke is perhaps what I know as stroke protocol, where a certain set of procedures is done to see if you’ve had a stroke.
