Medical record

At my first AMD eye appointment the doctor used voice recognition to save writing.

Except I talked and they had to ask me to be quiet.

It did not seem quicker than being able type properly.

Computerised medical records are always fun. Apparently I suffer from a condition known as "Ref cons upload to nat ele rec". I do wonder how common that is.

Also, "pain in neck" :D.

I was intrigued when I first got a copy of my medical records back in 2010. They sent me computer printouts of the more recent records, but the historical ones were all handwritten. I always assumed that they gave doctors computers because they can't write. It turns out they can't type either.

Autistic spectrum disorder (X00TM) (New Episode

Episode IV - A New Hope

Unfortunately I don’t think much else fits me. Perhaps masking champion, held since 1967.

Perhaps, if they re-diagnose you and you get classified with something else.

Hopefully it will clear up!

It did just make me chuckle.

I would be worried if you have a “further episode”!

If it bothers you, I’d suggest just reading “Episode” as meaning “Diagnosis”.

Medical professionals who see it will, of course, know that autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition, not an episodic one.

If the preset coding label just makes you chuckle, then I completely understand and found it funny, too. I’d have preferred “Ongoing Saga”, myself! 

Maybe they mean it is new in that you haven't been to the GP with this in the past.

Maybe each time you have a treatable side effect, like anxiety or depression, they will treat it as a new episode of treatment.

It's probably some standard classification thing.

Is this season 1 or 2? Is it on Netflix?
