Not just with doctors, but in *any* field, terminology lets experts communicate efficiently with each other in shorter sentences.  Doctors can write and talk about "the condition where the muscle at the end of the stomach is too tight and doesn't let food out", or they can say "pyloric stenosis."  It seems harder to non-experts, but that is *so* much easier and faster for doctors.

Many medical terms are from Latin: e.g., NPO=nil per os, nothing by mouth.\n\nHere's what Wikipedia says about stat:\n"Stat, from statim is a medical term meaning "immediately" (from Latin) or Sooner Than Already There."\n\nWhen I worked at a hospital it carried a greater urgency than "rush" or "right away!" It was only meant to be used when someone might die if not acted on. So; drop your lunch, pull up your pants, stop whatever you were doing if doing so didn't threaten someone else's life, and respond!\n\nThere's the other side, too. Obscure language gives power. Someone goes to clinic and says "I have an upset stomach." The doctor replies, "yes, you have gastritis." Now you know the word in Latin (inflamed stomach=gastritis) and he has his fee.
