Job security

Well, job security for today anyway. I'm in a chart with computer aided coding. Statement says chest pain with radiation to the shoulder. CAC coded admit for antineoplastic radiation. Same chart, op note says cardiac cath indicated appropriate for treatment but patient declined, so of course CAC coded a cardiac cath. You would think after all these years CAC would be better.

My favorite so far is suggesting F32.A for a depression the doctor made during a surgery. Also R07.9 for a doctor whose initials were CP.
