i thought that coming up with diagnoses for pts would be intimidating. But coming up with diagnoses that insurance companies will pay you for is really the hardest part of medicine. There's gotta be an ICD-9 code for what happens to you after trying to decipher ICD-9 codes. Kindof a generalized anxiety disorder thang, with some nystagmus and delirium.
i feel pressured into writing. G's thrown down the gauntlet. i have definitely not gotten the hang of this rotation deal, time-wise. Think i've been working out maybe two or three times the week. Haven't got in to the irongym in about a week and a half. Have been climbing a few times though. Interestingly, although i'm fatter than i've been in many moons, i'm not climbing particularly worse. In fact, i finally touched the finish hold on my v6 proj; but i couldn't muster the send juice. That's where i'm feeling the fat: got no endurance. Gotta get on the ball and trim some of this pannus off of the abdomen.

That was a few days ago, and i didn't manage to finish. But i'll post it up for to have it on record. Clumb today over lunch (which i'm gonna try to make a habit of), and i sent one of my v6 projects. The finish move had eluded me for many burns: this big throw off of a terr'ble, horr'ble, no good, very bad sloper. Every time i'd set up to gun for the finish, i'd pop off as soon as my hands were nearly at eye-level. Absolutely zero outward vector possibilities on this hold. So i found a cheat. It's a huge hold, so i found a micro-crimp against the wall where part of the hold had been ground down from use. i felt kindof dirty milking the hold like that, but since my fingernails barely fit, i couldn't feel too bad. i haven't seen anybody else get to that point on the climb. One mo' v6 on the tick list, and it's a doozy.
And i've kinda sorta started the GF diet, in an unofficial sort of way. i'm trying at least to cut the cereal and crappy sugars out. But i did succumb to hunger today and had a Cliff Bar. And i feel a margarita in my near future. But when you get home from Heaven there, it's on.

ICD-9 is pretty easy once you get ahold of it.. you pretty much have an idea as to what the patient has, you just have to find a matching code... and here's the kicker. once you get finished with your clinicals, someone else will do it for you!! hahaha
call me if I can help you in any way broseph!!
Well that's the main thing: you do get to know the codes you use all the time, but it's all a huge waste of time anyway 'cuz that's what they hire coders for. Liiiiittle bit irritatin' to know i'm wasting a huge chunk of my day for no reason whatsoever.
Anyway, how you been, brutha?
Oh it's on. Fo realz.
And for the record, I have no idea what an ICD-9 code is. More importantly, I don't care. Somehow that comforts me. Everyone in my industry speaks in acronyms and abbreviations. I don't know what the hell most of them are talking about either. Turns out, you don't have to. An experienced IT pro just smiles and nods, feeling perfectly assured that the talking head is just as clueless.
