Mariano,
As a frustrated beginner with Base, I've been eagerly awaiting a draft
of your tutorial. Now that it's here, I can say it was definitely
worth the wait: you've done a great job organizing the material and
explaining complex material very clearly. That's a big challenge, but
you really nailed it, I think. This should be a huge help to people
who need to get started doing actual work with Base.
As I've read through, I've noticed a few typos and run into some
questions, so I started collecting them. I was going to go all the way
through, but this is long enough already and I want to try to
coordinate with Drew and anyone else who's proofing.
I'm not necessarily looking for a response, but if there's any
follow-up, we can use the list, or just email me directly.
Wow - well, just proves that I am not copy editor..

Maybe "form"?

Seems to use inconsistent terminology, sometimes referring to the
people being treated at the clinic as "patients" and other times as
"clients". For example,
What is the situation with the medication? We already know that
one _client_ would be using... medications (0..n) while several
medications could be being used by several _patients_ at the same
time (n..m).
On this one - that really is closer to real life - folks talk about
patients and clients and of course it is just one person. There is a
name for this, persona - so sometimes a person has the persona of a
client, for instance when viewed by the client administrator and other
times they have the persona of patient, as when a doctor or therapist is
talking about them.
