I guess my comments relate more to my difficulty with Karsten's episode stuff and the difficulty I'm having quantifying it.
Sure, I tag many of my consulation but often, as you comment may be vague eg abdominal pain ?cause or 'vague feelings of beling unwell, nil to find', many descriptions like this being a summary of the consulation rather than a provisional diagnosis. I find it hard being 'forced' into labelling an encounter with a diagnosis or diagnostic term that dosn't fit my thinkin. I stick by my comments about many doctors not labelling at all (rightly or wrongly but the realisty is they don't).
