Medical billing codes from

https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/2016-ICD-10-CM-and-GEMs.html

in simple text form.

The Medical Establishment failed Karen as a whole because of crap like these codes being the focus of the Medical Establishment and Insurance Companies, rather than focusing on the patient before them.

Do we really need a system of billing codes that lets us do this kind of crap?:

My “Sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological
condition” (F52) became so bad after my many spacecraft crashes;
“Spacecraft crash injuring occupant, subsequent encounter” (V9541XD)
that I tried to harm myself with a jellyfish; “Toxic effect of contact
with other jellyfish, intentional self-harm, initial encounter”
(T63622A), from crashing into the ocean.
