Read codes??
<<I have to say I have been surprised that this is the first message re
READ codes for a while>>
And <<Perhaps it is time the whole thing was scrapped and we all went to
using ICD10 plus some 'patient-friendly' descriptions.>>
Sad to say I am forced to agree. The idea of GP-friendly real world codes
(versus the gibberish of ICD and the others) was a good one but after I
spent too many hours trying to figure out just how Dr Read's mind worked
(because in the earlier implementations of the codes that was what you had
to do to find the right one) and decided that his mind certainly did not
work remotely like anyone I knew in GP I sort of gave up. Odd that I have
never seen anyone else making this comment about his thought processes---am
I twisted? Or just rude?!!!
