They're both true of course. Polyps get removed all the time, it is unremarkable in a medical sense, and probably not enough to even warrant its own billing code, otherwise it certainly would have been listed.
- withinboredom 5y agoAh yeah, that’s good point. In either case, the true story ended with no polyps and it was a transcription error.
- danachow 5y agoNo this is not true at all. Procedural documentation in the US is exquisitely detailed both for medical-legal reasons and billing. Any polyp in the colon will be grossly described, it’s approximate position and if any intervention or send out testing is being performed. And as an internist - no colon polyp is medically unremarkable.
