Re: testing -- Re:, 03:10:20 02/11/05 Fri (ca-01.cinergycom.net/216.135.2.28)
Recently had one where I uncovered a heretofore unreported link between a murderer/attempted murderer and my hometown and his intended victims. He killed a 22 month old child (and that sets me to tears every time I think about it) and sent 3 others to the hospital with life-threatening wounds from a shotgun just across the river in Illinois. If you want, you can read about it here if the local paper doesn't screw up the link. It's certainly not fun.
------------------------------------------------------------
But that's not what really got my juices flowing tonight. I read this article (follow the link for a complete read) about how BC-Canada still had homosexuality on the books as a mental disorder in their MSP Codes. The article was:
MSP billing lists being gay as a mental disorder
Jonathan Fowlie -- Vancouver Sun -- Thursday, February 10, 2005
Embarrassed B.C. health officials are scrambling to correct a bizarre oversight in provincial paperwork that allows doctors to bill the Medical Services Plan for treating homosexuality as a mental disorder.
Health ministry spokeswoman Michelle Stewart said the ministry learned only Wednesday that a code permitting doctors to do such billing has been on the books since the 1980s.
"If they put that code [for the treatment of homosexuality] in, theoretically it would go through because it is recognized as a diagnostic code," Stewart said, adding that the ministry planned to remove the code as soon as possible, perhaps as early as today.
Stewart could not say if any doctors had used the code recently, or if MSP had paid for treatments under this provision, but said she would order a search of records Wednesday afternoon, and that the results would not be available until today. The provincial classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder came to light, Stewart said, when someone called the ministry Wednesday to say they had seen it listed as such on the provincial government's publicly accessible website.
It appeared on a five-page listing of codes doctors use for billing purposes under the heading, "neurotic disorders, personality disorders and other nonpsychotic mental disorders."

These guys legalized marriage for gays and lesbians??
I smelled a challenge... I wanted to find those codes, besides it might help me get over the insomnia! So I found the BC Ministry of Health Services and their MSP Search Page. What I found was most interesting. Absolutely none of the PDF files for the MSP Codes were now accessible. All of the one's I clicked upon gave the same FILE NOT FOUND message from the site.
But I was undaunted! As we know there is always one place else to look when a site pulls the fast one and tries to cover its tracks... that's right.... the GOOGLE CACHE! And since these were PDF files there would be the option to view them in HTML. So I Googled up:
Results 1 - 4 of 4 from www.healthservices.gov.bc.ca for "neurotic disorders".
And there on top was:
[PDF] Diagnostic Code Description ICD9 Mental Disorders
File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML

www.healthservices.gov.bc.ca/ msp/infoprac/diagcodes/290_mental.pdf
The PDF file from the BC Ministry of Health Services was inactive (File not Found) but the GOOGLE View as HTML was sure there! But if the BC Ministry of Health Services managed to rid itself of the embarrasment here is a snippet of it..... oh Aurra?

First a joke without dirty words. If you're old enough to understand what it means then you're old enough to get a laugh.
If you're not, then don't read any further.
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in.

Ok... it was an old one, but still good!
