Code Black

In this instance, the term refers to the presence or the threat of a bomb within the hospital. Epicharmus of Kos and Phormis have been reported as having been among the first to invent comic fables.¹. Code black is a medical term used in the ABC series Grey's Anatomy, in the episode "It's The End of the World, Part 1". . Despite California's attempt at standardization, in some hospitals (including the Texas Tech University hospital: see link below), Code Black denotes a bomb threat. An author of fables is called a fabulist. According to this revised coding scheme, Code Yellow denotes a bomb threat. The word fabulous strictly means "pertaining to fables", although in recent decades its metaphorical meanings have been taken to be literal meanings.

In light of this, HASC published a handbook titled "Healthcare Facility Emergency Codes: A Guide for Code Standardization" listing various codes and has strongly urged hospitals to voluntarily implement the revised codes. In some usage, "fable" has been extended to include stories with mythical or legendary elements. While codes for fire (Code Red) and medical emergency (Code Blue) were similar in 90% of California hospitals queried, there were 47 different codes used for infant abduction and 61 for combative person. A familiar theme in Slavic fables is an encounter between a wily peasant and the Devil. In 2000, the Healthcare Association of Southern California (HASC) determined that a uniform code system is needed. Medieval French fabliaux might feature Reynard the fox, a trickster figure, and offer a subtext that was mildly subversive of the feudal order of society. Mass Casualty is alternatively abbreviated "MASCAL". A fable often, but not necessarily, makes metaphorical use of an animal as its central character.

In Military hospitals, Code Black is the medical emergency term for mass casualties, as from an epidemic or other public health threat. In its pejorative sense, a fable is a deliberately invented or falsified account. Alternatively, Code Yellow is the term used for a bomb threat in many California hospitals. A fable may be set in verse, though it is usually prose. For example, this term may refer to a bomb threat or a bomb being discovered in a workplace. "Fable" comes from Latin fabula and shares a root with faber, "maker, artificer." Thus, though a fable may be conversational in tone, the understanding from the outset is that it is an invention, a fiction. Color codes denote different events at different workplaces and are not universal. In its strict sense a fable is a short story or folk tale embodying a moral, which may be expressed explicitly at the end as a maxim.
