#icd-10

My medical coding book has a whole section for heelies accidents.

From Zachary Wheeler, Treatment of Schizoid Personality [dissertation] (2013); the DSM-5-TR (2022), & the ICD-11 (2022).

Saw the prop department’s real-life death certificate for the Wicked Witch of the East, and all I could think was, “Wait, where’s the cause of death? What the hell kind of coroner’s office is this town running?” So I flipped through the ICD-10 looking for some possible contenders...

Anyway, Happy Coming Out Day 2K19!
