Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

I saw white bread at the store yesterday, but I didn't trigger.

People really do walk around trying to find something to be offended about. What if it was a black student who put the peel there? Same outrage?

 

I'm offended that there are people who make it their mission in life to be offended.

 

Now I want to run around town putting banana peels in trees and seeing who craps their pants about it.

 

Be careful. Somebody may be climbing the tree, slip on the peel and........

 

Meh. If I do it on public property, they can sue the town.

 

Banana Peels Matter!!

 

Screw that.

 

I demand redress for the Peel Gap!

 

So the title oversells the article a bit, but still fun:

There are some crazy medical codes out there—here are the weirdest on record

To get the answer, the company, called Amino, swept through its extensive healthcare data. Amino is a San Francisco-based healthcare transparency company, headed by CEO David Vivero, a former executive of Zillow, the online real estate database company. With tens of millions in venture capital and investments, the company bought and aggregated 9 billion insurance claims. So it's in a good position to know the most unusual conditions Americans turn up with.

Amino found that 25,500 people experienced a W2203, which is code for “walked into furniture.” In the same vein, 17,200 Americans walked into walls and 400 walked into a lamppost.

Perhaps with all our eyeballs glued to phones and tablets these days, the oblivious walking accidents aren’t surprising. But barnyard animals have less of an excuse. In the last year, 1,700 people showed up with W5522: “struck by cow,” and 200 had W6132: “struck by chicken.”

More understandable, 700 people had a W5511, “bitten by horse,” and there were 300 W5541s, “bitten by pig.” In a head-scratcher, there were 10,600 W503s, “accidental bite by another human," though.

While the use of “accidental” is a bit puzzling there, the ICD codes are a little more clear in their use of the word “contact.” For instance, 2,200 patients had a W294: “contact with nail gun,” and there were 3,400 W28s, “contact with powered lawn mower.” A whopping 8,900 people had a W270, “contact with workbench tool.” Some 600 people showed up with a W261, “contact with sword or dagger.”​

 

This is what I thought up when you said "Peel Gap."

 

Exactly, or stuck gerbil.

 

W5589 is 'other contact with other mammals'

 

I wouldn't mind peeling that.

 

mmmm Emma Peel...

El Google.

Volunteered in an ER in high school, but never had that one come through, thank god.

 

When you see something often enough you tend to remember it.

 

There are some racy photos of her out there.

This might be the saddest story I have read in a long time.
