Auditing a record where pt came to the ED for a laceration to 3rd toe that he sustained while swimming in a lake and stepped on a sharp rock. I am thinking the Ecode should be E917.2, striking against or struck accidentally in running water; but I am thrown by "running water". Does anyone known exactly what is meant by "running water"? A river vs a lake? thanks!:confused:
 
I agree with those codes just wondering if I didn't need to show something about the patient being in the water when he struck the rock; hence, the E917.2. Maybe the E002.0 is sufficient enough for that.

Thanks.
