http://turtlestruck.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Struck by a Turtle. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Years ago, after a short hospital stay, my father opined, "If you stay in the hospital long enough, they will. Kill you." Never thought much more about it until I entered medical coding and boy, was he right. It's like the Run for the Roses. And it's Afib early out of the gates with a strong start, followed closely by Anti Coag. Afib and Anti Coag holding strong in the lead going into day 1. And Trochanteric FX is out of the race! And we have CDiff in the lead,...
