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.
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
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
Thank you for the red circle, I would have never found out what to read without it.
you’re welcome :)
For a horrifying moment I thought it read “Fidget spinner stuck in penis”.
thank god it was circled
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.
Wild ride!
You think that’s wild?
That’s a classic.
Should be a minor part in next season Pitt.
