I wonder what ICD code they used for billing…

https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/the-16-most-absurd-icd-10-codes/285737/

I used to work at a company that made software related to this and we always had fun finding ridiculous codes for testing internally. I think there was an actual code defined for someone being hit in the head by a turtle.

For this one, I think it's nothing quite as exciting, basically just what you'd expect.

S30.852A - Superficial foreign body of penis, initial encounter

[-] Zorsith 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Probably pretty similar to the list of items you cant bring on a plane. I think i saw at least 3 different words for nunchucks on a sign once

[-] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Thank you for the red circle, I would have never found out what to read without it.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 17 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but there was no giant superimposed face reacting to it so I had no idea what emotional response I should have.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Really? No one is gonna comment on how insane it is for a healthcare professional to tweet healthcare data, even if PII is censored?

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

someone else already did

[-] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 14 points 2 months ago

Played too rough and it got swollen and they panicked. Reminds me of my first yank.

[-] lemmy_at_em@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

For a horrifying moment I thought it read "Fidget spinner stuck in penis".

[-] Nuerion@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

"New kink unlocked"

[-] slippyferret 4 points 2 months ago

I think it’s neat that in a lot of these “penis stuck in thing” cases where bloodflow makes removal difficult a doctor can usually just show the patient the massive needle they will have to insert to remove excess blood and the sight alone usually “solves” the problem.

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Any medical people know what the little symbol with the exclamation mark under the ‘All’ column means?

[-] vateso5074@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Guessing that column is truncated "Allergies," though I'm not sure if the exclamation point means that they have a major allergy or maybe their allergy information wasn't recorded yet.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

HOW DO YOU PULL THAT OFF!?!

Some supernatural fukery going on.

[-] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The fuck is RT FOOT PN and why the hell is it not RT FT PN
