Thank god for doctors who read the notes!

 My sister went along with my mother to the GP earlier, because of a bunch of minor symptoms that individually could be read as "she's getting old", but which we suspected meant the dosage for one of her conditions is too low. And it's a rare condition - 5/100,000 - that none of the practice doctors have shown signs of understanding before, leaving everything to the specialist, so she expected to have to argue.

Doctor "Yes, I think you're right, you should have had a follow-up appointment with the specialists months ago, I'm upping your dosage and writing to their secretary to get this sorted."

Thank god for doctors who read the notes in advance!
