Apparently some people get sucked into jet engines twice. Enough that there's a medical code for Sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter: https://www.aapc.com/codes/icd-10-codes/V97.33XD

Or, and hear me out, it could be that some medical coder was running on autopilot and put a subsequent encounter code in out of habit.

Subsequent encounter means you're seeing the doctor again for the same problem. So if you got sucked into a jet engine and lived somehow you'd probably be seeing the doctor a bunch of times, and the second doctor visit and all later visits would be encoded as "subsequent encounter"

I love weird icd 10 codes, my favorite is V91.07, burn due to water-skis on fire. Like has that ever actually happened? If so please post link, I must know.
