Subject: Can find the abbreviation ANL everywhere on Occupational Therapy sites and they go into great detail about what it entails, but nothing states exactly what the abbreviation stands for... see below
from www.activehomerehab.com
Functional Retraining Programs: Based on functional problems identified in the in-home ANL assessment, the occupational therapist will teach the client and their caregivers, strategies to increase independence with functional tasks such as dressing, bathing and meal preparation. Homemaking retraining programs may also be warranted in which education and training are provided regarding pacing, work simplification, proper body mechanics and use of assistive devices (if necessary), to facilitate return to pre-accident homemaking activities

I just found VFFTC on there as I couldn't remember it and was having a major brain cramp. Always remember if it sounds like "B" it could be "V" and check both.
This site has helped me out a lot with those docs that like to abbreviate everything.
I actually had one doc that dictated, as fast as he could talk, under physical exam, WDWNLAM with no clue as to what part of the PE he was getting at. It took me a minute to realize he was abbrieviating "well developed, well nourished Latin American Male."

Portal sites
Subject: Portal sites
You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.
