The Idiocy of ICD-10: W22.02XD

In the interest of brevity and efficiency, I'll let this speak for itself:
It's not clear how many klutzes want to notify their insurers that a doctor visit was a W22.02XA, "walked into lamppost, initial encounter" (or, for that matter, a W22.02XD, "walked into lamppost, subsequent encounter").
If people want to know why they can't get an appointment in 2014 and why doctors are frustrated with our current health care system, look no further than ICD-10.
