- Sanddancer 11y agoFor that, your best source would be an EMT friend, access to an EMT journal, and/or a friend known for doing stupid things. Like I know someone who has in their medical history treatment for code T19.1XXS [1]. For another example, an EMT friend got published in a journal for EMTs regarding treatment with a S71.121A [2] case involving some guy impaling his thigh with a children's swingset. The patient's only response to how it happened was, "I don't know, man." People do dumb stuff, and you'd be surprised as to how often some of the incredibly unlikely codes actually get used.
