Some good ones you can see below:

Acute Lead Poisoning – Gunshot wound
Baby catcher – obstetrician
Babygram -x-raying (radiographing) a newborn
Chocolate Hostage – constipated
Imaginascope – what you use during radiology rounds to see the lesion the clinician is showing you but you don’t see

And a ton more on the site.  Each industry has a certain jargon and the medical community tries to beat them all.
