Do you use 'acopia'? I was advised in the week to use it in preference
to 'not coping'? I can see no reason to do so, though.

"Acopia" - false latin - allows such laziness and negligence to also make fun of the patient and meet modern academic standards. It stinks. "Not coping" really isn't much better and blames the patient - but at least it's open about it. Much better to consider what the real problem is; what the patient cannot cope with. And why. -- Andrew Heenan http://www.realnurse.net/

I had written "not coping with blah due to blah", was advised to write "acopia blah due to blah". It was just the 'acopia' bit I was querying.
