When they have cataloged, renamed and numbered all, certain hospitals will practice with the new nomenclature. Chronic invalids could look forward to entertaining themselves with the numerological rigmarole of their numerous ailments; to swapping anecdotes or "stumping" each other on 64-309 (penetrating wound of the stomach) or 612-13 (fungus-ringworm-disease of the tongue...
