If you're like this at work, that would explain you're whopping 1.4 rating.



dassa, you have quite a good point there.

I think my patients, the fish I used to deal with when I was in the fish health "business" would have rated me pretty low if I had based diagnoses on "what percentage" of eroded fins is bacterial, parasitical, or mechanical?

I hope that's not what the "doc" was doing for those folks at the clinic.
