Meditel can't take all the credit. GOK is a genuine Read synonym as are many others TATT, FLK (funny looking kid) are two others that spring to mind

"NAD" which apart from its normal interpretation can also stand for "not actually done"
Type "GOK" in meditel and you actually get a picking list, helpful if you can't spell neurasthenia.

Also - a great story - consultant neurosurgeon wrote in notes _XR-SFA_ -
meaning it was normal of course - but in more colourful language. Pt
later died and in the coroners court he was asked what he had meant by
_SFA_ (with everyone expecting a red face) - not a bit of it - _Skull
Fracture Absent Sir_ he merrily chirped.
I must emphasise that this story is in no way connected to any member of
the Labour party - sorry, New Labour.
Cheers.
