Thanks for sharing that story.

It's scary that sheer happenstance saved your aunt's life. I wonder how medical record keeping could be improved to help with that scenario.

What's scary to me is that after 10 attempts at the landline over a period of time, I would have (correctly but unhelpfully) concluded that he was away for Christmas and abandoned that approach. My Uncle was more persistent.

In this case I think it was less knowledge of the particular case, and more the expertise in that specialised situation. Skillset rather than records.

Well, here's to hoping we'll all be seeing an all-knowing Dr. Google in 50 years.
