Since this thread is seriously in danger of dropping to page 2, and since Mandrake and Sprior are both posting on their "At Dawn We Slept..." thread, evidently the Allied players are MIA or something...

While there are myriads of different possibility why they are absent, this could be due to an injury/accident from the latest ICD10 classification... Vote on your favorite (mine is V91.07) [;)]

Gotta love international bureaucracy! Where would we be without physicians being able to record when a person was injured by being bumped by an orca in an initial encounter, as opposed to being bumped by an orca in subsequent encounters?

But do tell, what about Moose's sister? In another thread he mentioned, "my sister was bitten by an elephant once". What designation would that be recorded under? Would the designation be different if she were bit on subsequent occasions? What about if she were bitten more than once on that initial occasion?

What if she were bitten by the elephant (initial encounter), took to water skies to escape, the water skies caught fire (also injuring her), and was bumped (again) by the same orca that was pissed off at her returning to the scene (of the initial bumping) in flaming water skies, an obvious provocation? What if subsequent bumping was by a different orca than bumped her on the first occasion, would that (again) be W56.22XA "Struck by orca, initial encounter"?

The world wonders.

Yes, thank you WHO. Thank you for multiplying the possible causes of constipation by 100. I was feeling fairly "impacted" with the 100 possible codes available under ICD-9. Also, when I open my "Water Ski Burn Clinic" that one code will be super important.

In the meantime I have secretly started my campaign to code "Chagas Disease" (South American parasite) on every Medi-Cal patient I see. I will let you know how long it takes for the CDC to send a team out.

witpqs: But do tell, what about Moose's sister? In another thread he mentioned, "my sister was bitten by an elephant once".

It's quite simple really: male elephants are called 'bull elephants' so the female ones must be 'cows'. I believe the code for bull elephants is one digit more than the one for cows. [;)]
