Re: [Gnumed-devel] Measurement gui

[Karsten Hilbert]

I understand the intention here ... we would populate a patient's record with 
tabular data 
 
date     |     exam      | value 
01/12   | TSH           |  7,2
05/12   | TSH           |  7,3 
 
It would be faster ... but do not think on how would it ever be able to get 
into GNUmed this way :)
