From Pre-Med to Med School to Residency
well, the Fool was digging around the ICD9 coding (an international diagnosis coding standard) and found that they have some pretty unusual ones out there. Here are just a sampling of some:
E985.7 Undetermined Paintball Gun Injury
E955.7 Sucide by Paintball Gun (you can do that?)
V61.6 Illegitimate Pregnancy
E920.3 Knife/Sword/Dagger incident (they still have daggers around?)
I wonder how often these actually get used! Funny that they think of everything! -Fool
