Thanks for the great feedback!
Can we just take a minute to shout out to @TOXBASE for being, essentially, brilliant? “Your pt had taken this much of that? That’s less than other people have who were fine. Have they got these findings? If they do, do this. If they don’t, its probably fine not to do much.” 👍
