Jim. I need Jim, STAT. I need verification that these ICD10 codes are legit... - Mel Profit Dec 19, 08:41 31
- Politifact even discusses those codes -- (link) - TWuG Dec 19, 08:45

    - and woe be to the patient who doesn't know what type of swallow. -- nm - zork Dec 19, 09:05 2
      - It's obvious because a European swallow couldn't carry one -- nm - spamlet Dec 19, 09:06 1
        
        what if it was two of them together? -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 09:07
  - we'll code anything. - Mel Profit Dec 19, 08:46 16
    - It's not just turkeys though. Right above the turkey codes are the chicken codes. There are turtle codes. - Jim Dec 19, 08:47 15
      - What is the point of these codes? What does it add to health care that makes them useful? - TWuG Dec 19, 08:49 14
        
        I could see wanting to be sure that it was a chicken attack rather than turkey to know whether to test for salmonella -- nm - zork Dec 19, 08:55
        
        It allows doctors and coders to be as specific as possible when coding why a patient came to see them. - Jim Dec 19, 08:50 12

        aren't koalas and roos nasty sometimes? - zork Dec 19, 09:03 1
        
        The entire continent of Australia is full of mean fuckers. - TWuG Dec 19, 09:10
        
        Well, they don't go into effect until Oct 2014. But here's the spacecraft stuff - Jim Dec 19, 08:55 6
        
        why would you need 26 separate codes for spacecraft-related diagnoses? i'd give good odds that 25 of those have never been used. -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 09:00 5
        
        when it does though, they'll be ready! -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 09:05 2

        *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Dec 19, 09:02
  - Here's a copy/paste - Jim Dec 19, 08:43 5
    - i love this. -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 08:52
    - I have no idea what this thread is about, but I really hope it's somehow related to coding doctor visits. -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 08:49 1
      - Diagnosis codes. -- nm - Jim Dec 19, 08:51
    - *smh* -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 08:48

So let's see...I had my cast of 20 done before...let's see who I would add to get it to 30 - Jim Dec 19, 08:39 12

  - So...my final list (to look up later) - Jim Dec 19, 08:49 3 1
    - Oh god.....really, another attempt to get Mariano on this show? - Will Hunting Dec 19, 09:17
    - they'll never have Fairplay back though will they? - Beaker Dec 19, 08:51 1
      - Probably not. Fairplay really should not have been out there the 2nd time. - Jim Dec 19, 08:53
  - I'd switch out Fishbach for Malcolm. (I'd love to see Stephen back in a future season - I think he's a better player than JT. But he's no legend -- nm - Roger More Dec 19, 08:47 3
    - Malcolm is AWFUL at the game. -- nm - MDH Dec 19, 09:03 1
      - Sure, but it's not about having the best players, but the most legendary. -- nm - Roger More Dec 19, 09:07
    - You're probably right. What gets in my head is the fact that Malcolm, while amazingly likable... - Jim Dec 19, 08:48
- no Tom Westman? (that was Tom' name right?) -- nm - Beaker Dec 19, 08:40
- And Sandra still wins. -- nm - Jim Dec 19, 08:40
Leviticus 18 is the quote I hear most often in reference to homosexuality. - ty97 Dec 19, 08:36 20
- Yeah, Leviticus is full of crazy stuff. -- nm - mara Dec 19, 08:43
- but seriously, if you're picking Leviticus, there's a whole pile of other crazy crap to worry about there. - mafic Dec 19, 08:42 5
  - exactly. I mean, if you're gonna go strict interpretation of the bible to make your points, you're screwed -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 19, 08:48 3
    - but it's the Word of God! -- nm - zork Dec 19, 08:51 2
      - Directly mistranslated into English from Latin that was mistranslated from Greek that was mistranslated from Aramaic after it was misheard or made up - TWuG Dec 19, 08:54 1
        
        exactly! I mean you gotta know that God wouldn't allow for mistakes to creep into important stuff like beating your wife. -- nm - zork Dec 19, 08:56
  - That's the infuriating part. Religious doctrine picks and chooses and has chosen to embrace the parts where - TWuG Dec 19, 08:48
- you never go ass to mouth Randal! -- nm - Dante Dec 19, 08:39
- And, in a Duck Dynasty callback, the very next verse is about beastiality -- nm - ty97 Dec 19, 08:38 3
  - It seems to me going to look this stuff up is exactly what he and other religious people would want us to do -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 09:07 2
    - Why wouldn't they? If they believe the Bible, they would want you to read the source material for what forms their beliefs. - Will Hunting Dec 19, 09:11 1
      - Yeah, so what I'm saying is, screw 'em. :-) -- nm - con_carne Dec 19, 09:14

  - so the trip to thailand is off???? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 19, 08:48 1
    - heh -- nm - Don Homer Dec 19, 09:00
  - Nice. There has to be a way to fit that on a t-shirt. - zork Dec 19, 08:38 4
    - well - znufrii Dec 19, 08:38 3
      - That's not the one that I understood is offensive - zork Dec 19, 08:50 2
        
        yeah - znufrii Dec 19, 08:57 1
        
        so avoid both terms then? got it. - zork Dec 19, 09:01

- just about any time I've been in a "health food" store, I hear clerks spouting off crap they've been told that is so wrong -- nm - zork Dec 19, 08:35
- I'd like to, but who has the time? -- nm - Roger More Dec 19, 08:35
- It's funny how intelligence and independent thinking often winds up looking like our own beliefs. -- nm - spamlet Dec 19, 08:34 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - People often ascribe intelligence and rational thinking to others that agree with them. -- nm - spamlet Dec 19, 08:40 5
      - You're a right thinking kinda guy, spammy! -- nm - Jim Dec 19, 08:45
      - [deleted] 3
        
        In that is the assumption that if someone thought about something independantly they'd agree with you rather than just spouting off some nonsense... - spamlet Dec 19, 08:57 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        The thing with critical thinking though is that it can be independently verified. It isn't that you agree with me, it's that we agree with actual fact - TWuG Dec 19, 08:59
- Silly JackDawson! - znufrii Dec 19, 08:33
- PISA is a trap -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 19, 08:32
- I will withhold my opinion until I see what the majority says... -- nm - Beaker Dec 19, 08:31 4

    - History also shows that this has horrific consequences. -- nm - ty97 Dec 19, 08:33 1
      - [deleted]
  - hee -- nm - zork Dec 19, 08:32
MDH - yeah, Legends is happening. -- nm - Jim Dec 19, 08:28 4
- Battle Royale style! -- nm - Beaker Dec 19, 08:30
- Well, I should say...it is supposed to be happening. I'm sure stuff can change between now and the end of next summer when they'd start filming. - Jim Dec 19, 08:30 2
  - they should do a season with everyone who was every voted off first -- nm - Beaker Dec 19, 08:30 1

  - my brother and I used to go to HMV, pick something out, and hand it to each other before checkout. -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 08:40
  - we always do this. with a few suprises thrown in -- nm - Beaker Dec 19, 08:37
  - but you gave him the chance to get it and he wouldn't be able to. you're all good. -- nm - zork Dec 19, 08:37
