As long as it makes sense to the docs, I guess. But it would make more sense to the average Joe if they used the word "possible" for "suspect, and "suspected" for "probable".

Because when most people use the word "probable", they mean "probably IS", not "could very well be".

My head hurts.

When SARS first raised its ugly head, I told my wife that I thought Severe and Acute sounded redundant. She educated me on their difference in medical terminology.
