>subsequent encounter

I assume this actually means a follow-up visit by the doctor, not a subsequent encounter with the jet engine.

But what I really want to know is how they deal with folks with multiple issues - those unfortunate patients that were both sucked into a jet engine and bitten by their parrot. :)
