yes that is exactly what i mean (and no great consolation to an everyday GP that other reasons are unintuitively stored and searchable in the database - and don't start me up on how hard it is to access the database files other than through the very limited built in functionality of the MD searching software !)

What he meant is that if you look at past visits, only 1 reason displays.
With MD3 it is the same.  BP displays more than 1 reason for visit.

Que?  You can go around the 'Reason' button and choose further items
from the list of coded terms as many times as you like.  I often would
code four reasons for the consultation and sometimes eight.  It would
have been good if HCN had followed the convention of being to hold down
the CTRL button and click on as many items from the patient's list of
existing long term problems as we wish, though, to make it easier and
faster to code more than one reason for the consultation.

An MD3 user will have to tell us.
