"What Does Stat Mean?"

You know on things like ER on TV or any American medical drama, what does stat mean? As in "nurse get me 50 milligrams of hemahumaglobicide, stat". I mean I know it means do it quick but where does it come from?

Statistic.

I don't know what kind of cartoons YOU'VE been watching...

But yeah some guy in some old film said "Someone has to show some spunk!" and, being about 12 at the time, I cracked a smile.
