Kim,

I just reread this and wanted to respond. I got enormously frustrated with going from vet to vet to try to get a diagnosis for Macy. What I ended up thinking was that if the records had been kept differently Macy might have been diagnosed earlier. If there had been a column with a list of symptoms in it that were ticked off as they were satisfactorily explained I think the vets would have seen that there was an accumulation of symptoms that were not being ticked off that were adding up? Does that make any sense?

I discussed this with Dr. McDonnell and hope to get the chance to talk to him about it again. Vets have enough to deal with in trying to read the minds of their patients who, try tho they do, don't speak! I think if the charts were easier to read it would help.
