So, knocking up a quick spreadsheet listing in a very clear manner a complex medication regime for the various medical staff at the hospital is ‘abnormal’.  No… I’m not OCD (it should be CDO anyway…).  Though it would appear this didn’t help them.  They’ve still got utterly confused.  Maybe we should have rambled through the…
