A TV Commercial About Medical Coding!

One of our students was talking to me on the phone and told me about a TV commercial she had seen. I think it may have been for health insurance. I'm not sure.   I haven't seen it. It apparently starts out with the music playing, "I've had the time of my life" from the Patrick Swayze movie. The couple move toward each other and start dancing. Then she moves away from him and starts running toward him just like in the movie. They fall over a table, which breaks. Then you see a code that says something like this, "Code E#####. Injury resulting from trying a new dance move."   I love it!   Medical coding is entering a phase where everyday people are becoming aware of it.

This commercial is great!

 If you look on the YouTube link when this one is finished it will show more of them. They all have different E codes.

Bringing this up again because it is worth watching.  See if you can code it before the code is shown at the end.
