Cool. It's still wrong though. The term drowning describes fatal and non-fatal.

Lmao ok bud. $10 says your doctor doesnt speak to you with doctor talk. They will not say "wow you must have rhinovirus" or "you have purulent discharge OS so I'm going to dx you penicillin PO BID 10 dys"

So first you said the term was a medical term. I showed you it isn't. You said my source didn't say that, so i spoon fed it to you. Then you moved the goal post by saying essentially it doesn't matter anyway because its a common term. Apparently you have no knowledge of outdated terms that can be inaccurate, unhelpful, or offensive. Luckily I'm free to be finished with this conversation and you're free to continue being wrong. Have a good evening.

It is a layperson medical term. Like how "break" isnt really a medical term either. You do not put "break" in a medical chart.

But alright. Take care
