I saw this picture and I knew that I just had to share it even though we usually don’t cover this sort of topic. It’s a picture from a hospital where the guy showed up with a chainsaw in his neck:
OUCH! Man arrives at hospital with chainsaw stuck in his neck….yup, a chainsaw. http://t.co/pVNLNjWBdE pic.twitter.com/lyNoTFl3iR

This isn’t really a health IT story like we usually do, but I will offer one health IT twist. You just really never know what’s going to come through the doors of the ED. You can plan for a lot in healthcare, but not everything. Maybe some of those funny ICD-10 codes are more common than we think.
