X52

My rocket propels me;
speed of light excursions
into the darkness of deep space.
It is silent, serene and no one
can hear me scream.
My days blur into each other
and it effects my equilibrium.
A floating trash compactor
in the expanse of nothingness.
Major Tom has gone home,
and ground control has shut down
leaving me the clown staying
weightless in a prolonged environment!

Life Ain’t Healthy


ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases.[1]
The code set allows more than 14,400 different codes[2] and permits the tracking of many new diagnoses. The codes can be expanded to over 16,000 codes by using optional sub-classifications.[3] The detail reported by ICD can be further increased, with a simplified multi-axial approach, by using codes meant to be reported in a separate data field. (Wikipedia)
Here are a few examples, gathered from around the internet. I’m certain there’s a poem or two in there somewhere.

ENJOY!
