After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?

I think it's American for GP but I might be wrong

Not something ive ever heard an American say.

GP, physician, doctor. Never "PCP".

I'm an American and work in healthcare. "PCP" is a common way to abbreviate "primary care physician". Generally, it is not said out loud that way, but it is often abbreviated in forms and documentation.

And yes, I giggle when I see it because I'm immature!

PCP is an incredibly common term in the US.

Maybe it's regional or something.

I've at least seen/read phrases "Primary Care" and "Primary Care Physician", but I've never once heard of anyone using the acronym "PCP" for it. Not until this ccomment thread.

Asked a couple other people just now, they'd never heard it used either.
