Some of them are used to indicate something about the doctor who is seeing the patient. For example, M.D. and M.S. are both medical doctors.

Ok that is good to know. What about when you hear code blue on the loud speaker?
user
Code blue is a code used in hospitals for a medical emergency that may be life threatening, and in this situation, the staff is trained to respond immediately.  Can I ask why you’re asking about this?
assistant
I heard it the one time I was at the hospital.
