I’ve been medical coding for 17 years and I’ve coded measles, mumps, active syphilis, and a shit-ton of post-polio

just out of curiosity, ever code leprosy? as I recall, when I was a candystriper in a hospital histology lab, we had a tissue sample in case we needed it for comparison.

Not yet but I expect Bobby Junior and his worm will make it great again soon enough

Yep. We see post-polio patients. It's still a valid ICD-10.

It has a fairly solid age floor, though. Almost like something came along and stopped almost everyone from getting polio, at just about the same time everywhere. Wonder what that was, huh.
