Death causes, again

Recently input data is being cleaned, and the cleaners have noticed that many people are still being very creative with what they type for cause of death. Here are a couple of things to remember.

  • If you can't read it, ask! If you're not sure what you see is a real word, look it up or ask!
  • Please write "ARTERIOSCLEROSIS" on a Post-It note, and stick it to your monitor, or other place you will see it. This is very common. Many of you are coming up with new and exciting ways to spell it.
Please reread the post on death causes from September 8, 2015. Email me by the end of the day on Friday, August 12, 2016 to let me know that you have read the September post and that you understand it.

    When I have difficulty reading a disease, I type what I can read/guess into google. More often than not, google works it magic and finds the correct disease.

    I get it. And I think causes should be separated by the word 'and' or a slash (/). It would make cleaning easier.
