well, ok smarty pants <grin>

what I would have meant to say is that in whatever is the original instance a 
description is offered (where the description has not yet been written to 
database) but is staring at the user (blank) I would suggest that if an ICD is 
picked -- presumably the field / phrasewheel will be adjacent -- then picking a 
code will refresh the description for the current patient's episode (or health 
issue) and the user could then choose to tweak it
