At a meeting where Electronic Medical Records was on the agenda, I happened to have been sitting next to a manager involved with that and joked about that you can't take ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T43.616A ( Underdosing of caffeine, initial encounter https://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/S00-T88/T36-T50/T43/... ) to Starbucks with a prescription. He chuckled a bit and told a tale of when he actually had that show up on his hospital visit once. He was in the hospital for some reason. That next morning he was rather grumpy and after snapping at the doctor apologized and noted that it was 2 hours after he normally had his morning coffee... which he couldn't have. The doctor asked if he'd be better if he had some caffeine and the manager said "probably." So T43.616A showed up on his chart and shortly after that a nurse came by and added one cup of coffee caffeine equivalent to his IV. Apparently it degrumped the manager sufficiently shortly afterwards. The IV was much more than the cup of coffee from Starbucks and there was some dickering with insurance about if that was a necessary or elective treatment. He concluded with that he wouldn't recommend it again. |

> The IV was much more than the cup of coffee
To be clear you mean about same concentration i.e 100mg but higher absorption?
