PRobably for as long as "phrase" has been used as a verb. ANd that
means basically the same thing.

Thank goodness! I was afraid I had "verbed" a noun for a minute there!

I do medical transcription, and doctors do it all the time -- "The
patient was [medication]ized," "The patient was [procedure]ized." Bleagh.

Oh dear. Can you at least changed "[medication]ized" to "medicated"?

No, because they are saying in a dorky way, "the patient received
[medication]."

Most often it is Coumadin, a blood thinner, and what they mean is that
they were started on Coumadin and titrated to the optimal dose. But
they use it with other meds, too.
