Physics or physician?


I spotted this license in a busy Costco parking lot.  I immediately put on my physics hat and thought: DP must mean change in momentum, DT change in time.  So, obviously, change in momentum (mass x velocity) divided by time = kg x meters/second/second is Force!  Perfect license plate for a car.
Then I looked it up.  It's a measure of blood pressure.  Perfect for reading during a traffic jam???
Either way, pretty appropriate for a license plate.
