Hi Russ,
If it is any help to you, I had a check list and the meanings of the
possible answers plotted out in OpenOffice. I would interview the
patient with a printout and then transcribe it afterwards into a report
of findings, but I didn't mind typing - still don't. The same thing
could be done with an electronic checkbox sort of thing, say with mouse
or stylus.
I always focused my practice on strengthening the immune system rather
than trying to have a germ-free environment. Actually, the different
germs counteract each other anyway. The anti-bacterial soap fad led to
an increase in nasty fungus infections, the bacteria keep fungi in
check. Kill bacteria and get fungus.
