Peter,

Code Clinicians rotating every hour or so, the CC time format is not particularly conducive to this sort of inquiry. I was asked a question of this sort in Portland (IIRC) and had left just enough time to only pass it on to the next Code Clinician on schedule. Later on, Richard DeVenezia has kindly agreed to accept my condolences.

Kind regards ------------ Paul Dorfman Jax, FL ------------

The person who wrote the code was very bright, but literally crazy (like, he's locked up now type crazy) and was fond of writing Rube Goldberg-esque code. He did comment quite a bit, but even with that, I am sometimes at a loss to figure why he did what he did, whether it's a sensible method, and so on. > >So, my question is, what does code clinic handle? >If I bring in program(s) with only a vague notion of what they are doing, can you clinicians tell me? > >Seems a lot to ask..... > > >Peter
