We need proper tables to represent this clinical data in gmclinical.sql,
for all of the GUI richard has defined, this is a very big job, however, we can 
have a very interesting
client with what we have plus prescriptions and referrals. The other problem 
is, remember backend SQL
and frontend were written separately. For example, the backend has medical 
history has the centrepiece
of the structure (clin_root_item etc.) whereas in the GUI it is basically an 
afterthought, because Richard (like most
Australian GPs) still uses paper records for this.

I think we should concentrate in getting demographics,  past history and 
allergies working
(for which backend SQL is largely complete), that alone would be a massive 
achievement given
our development history!
