Heya :) Thought I'd reply to your query, though I may have invalidated my response by reading the question, lol.
I didn't recognise any of the medical acronyms, none of them registered as medical BUT then again I am not a very well versed person in even your average medical drama. I THINK that Sam's ref to the HRCT scan, would lead me to back track to the other letters and go, oh, that's what they must be, BUT I did that knowing (from your question) that that is what they were.
From my point of view maybe a couple that are more obvious would be a good thing. Not all of them though, because you are wanting to be subtle and not use a sledgehammer to get your concept across!
As to what WOULD be more obvious? Um, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is ECG...electrocardiogram. And ICU, as Intensive care Unit. IV as Intravenous.
Sorry not to be more help. If it's any consolation, I really, really liked the fic. I'm not much of a LoM person, and it took me to almost the end to remember/realise that it was an Annie pov! But that didn't stop me thinking the writing was great!
