There is a dedicated ICD-10 medical code for “eye pecked out by a chicken”. They’re vicious little fuckers.

One of mine pecked the contact lens out of my eye. Went to the ER to have my eye checked, and they asked me if my wife had hit me. It took me a while to convince them it really was a chicken. Then they laughed.

Y36511D: War operations involving direct blast effect of nuclear weapon, civilian, subsequent encounter

[–] GreenCrunch@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

Well, it's important. If you're injured by a direct blast effect of a nuclear weapon, insurance needs a way to quickly reject that! After all, you didn't get nuclear coverage on your plan!
