One of the earliest www rabbit holes I remember visiting: https://www.chroniclesofgeorge.com/ Surprised MF has not been mentioned, yet. http://www.metafilter.com/
I used to customize this ticketing system. It was Peregrine Service Center before HP bought it. And we had a George too. Ah... the memories

Erm, there is a website for W2202XA: http://w2202xa.com/
Fun to just peruse the stories and spend an hour or two reading. Some of them leave you shaking your head, others leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. And yet others make you want to defenestrate printers... Who knew how much fun* people had in tech support and IT?

So initial vs subsequent encounter are completely different codes? Wouldn't this approach double the number of codes? Why wouldn't this be some other field of data associated with the form instead of mixing it up in the diagnostic 'topic'. I know nothing about medical diagnosis codes.
The codes are used to make the reimbursement system complicated enough that it can be gamed. That's the general purpose of impenetrable bureaucracy.
Browsing medical diagnosis codes... https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/2016-ICD-10-CM-and... Some of the most mildly interesting: V9543XD Spacecraft collision injuring occupant, subsequent encounter W5602XD Struck by dolphin, subsequent encounter X35XXXD Volcanic eruption, subsequent encounter X52XXXD Prolonged stay in weightless environment, subsequent encounter Y0881XD Assault by crashing of aircraft, subseq…

Medical diagnosis codes are all about reimbursement. Doctors do not rely on coding so much as finance dept relies on coding. Proper coding means more $$, so talented dx coders are valuable. Separating the code this way may not make sense medically, but it makes a lot more sense when you realize CMS or Blue Cross wants more coded granularity for automatic transmission of accurate financial information.
What does this have to do with anything? Is it just to inject a bit of cynicism? Because while there's certainly a lot to be gained by a bit of creativity with the coding, the first/subsequent encounter distinction is ill-suited, considering these are binary categories, and any mistakes/attempts to defraud can detected with an sQL query shorter than this paragraph. Concerning the original question: it's basically den…

I've been interested in ATT, but the community is significantly smaller, and the community is a big part of the draw of TVT. What disgusted me was what TVT said in response to ATT. There was a thread essentially claimed it was a weird XXX trope site that was ripping them off: nobody corrected this perception, and nobody even disagreed, despite the fact that looking at the FAQ for five minutes would have made it abund…
I'm not familiar with this situation, but if what you're saying is true, I can see where the perception came from. The unfortunate reality is that the Internet is full of sites which just copy-paste an existing popular site (Stack Overflow, various fandom wikis, etc.) and slap a bunch of ads on it hoping to make some fly-by-night profit. If I had came across ATT, I absolutely would've assumed that's what it was and w…
If you'd like to be a little more familiar with the situation, there's a write-up of the copyright situation here: http://blog.brentlaabs.com/2013/12/the-edge-of-creative-comm... with HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7749189 There's also the statement of why we forked: https://allthetropes.org/wiki/All_The_Tropes:Why_Fork_TV_Tro...
