It turnes out that they´re working with something they refer to as ICD-codes. A specific injury has a specific ICD-code that decides how much damage the injury has made to the person and how much money the insurance company shall pay.
But this lack of mylein that V has is such a rare disease so it´s hard to label it with a corresponding ICD-code.
However, the doctor told us, that there are ICD-codes for almost everything. For instance they actually have a code for those poor souls that eventually will get struck by a metroid.
So now we got a letter from or doctor with V´s full disease in black and white. Tough reading.
- Specific motoric retardation.
- Delayed accomplishing of expected physical development.
- Delayed myelinisation, other specific unnormal radiological discoverys in the brain.
- Congentinal deformity of the brain, hypomyelinization since birth.
But I like it as well. I like facts. It makes life more understandable. At least a bit more understandable.
