Don't think of it as a diagnosis then, think of it as a problem list. How else would you be able to quickly browse a patient's history if encounters weren't labelled with something meaningful? Even if you have ten encounters labelled as "vague unspecific symptoms" it is most helpful, because then really alarm bells should ring - whereas 10 unlabelled episodes are far less likely to draw your attention Horst _______________________________________________ Gnumed-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumed-devel
