Bid Teddy-

I'm fairly certain Scooter caught the meaning and was playing along. The only problem is - the sand would be an identifiable cause. In the ICD-10, this would be 30.854a, "Superficial foreign body of vagina and vulva, initial encounter" for the first offense, 30.854d for subsequent encounters - with 30.854s thrown in for the pain being a sequela from said foreign body.

The ICD-10 is quite specific, it even has different codes for "pecked by chicken" and "struck by chicken".
