Reply to comment by TheEnforcer246 in TIL that tularemia is an infectious disease that can be contracted by “inhaling particles from an infected rabbit ground up [by] a lawnmower”. by krisalyssa
At least twice, I’d guess, since there’s “initial encounter” and “subsequent encounter”.
Probably not very often, though, because there isn’t a code for “somebody tell this person to stay away from turtles”.

Subsequent encounter actually means a follow up visit for that condition, not the same event happening twice (FYI)

Oh, that makes sense. I always imagined the people coding these things calling over the cubicle walls, “Hey, Janet, you’ll never guess what happened again!”

In your defense, ICD 10 is awful
