If any of you happen to be in the business of selling voice transcription software, might I suggest that you might want to contact the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. I am currently reading a (what I assume had to be auto-generated) transcript of a recent town hall meeting they held regarding the method of reimbursement for "wound care products."
So far, I have counted over a dozen words for "wound", other than "wound", that occur with some frequency, including:
Moon
Woman
We
Room
Wind
Wood
Won't
Wounded
World
When
Works
Wings
Loops
Wool
Food
Boom
Roots
and finally, and perhaps suitably, Loon.
But that's just the beginning. In discussing the appropriate billing codes associated with wound care procedures, they came up with this little gem:
"The situation with skin substitute codes could be viewed similarly to the drug administration. Codes, drug and masturbation codes recognize the resource costs associated with administering drug or biologic, but the drug or biologic itself has paid separately."
