Default observation view should be table, not graph

@GabPoll - can you explain to me why?

As a non-clinician, the graphs are much more pleasant to look at :)

[GabPoll]

Good question.
I think it's to do with the fact that for these variables, the reference range for normal values is so engrained in our head that numbers instantly tell us whether something abnormal or not - bizarrely quicker to look at raw number than reading off a scale.

However, looking at trends over time is useful but always a secondary thing.

Also CDR results (and every other hospital) comes as tabulated timeline, so again used to seeing it that way. Fast data to hand.

Not that I don't believe you @GabPoll - but can we check that e.g. @michaeledwardmarks @drcjar @wai2k agree ;)

Ha ha! Of course that's fine. Also happy to find out that my brain is medically wired slightly differently to everyone else!!!

Yeah, we are used to seeing numbers but that's I would like to try
graphical representation as if that's done well can be much more
informative in a shorter period of time.

Also when I'm tired, I tend to mis read numbers

I think numbers if probably fine but I personally wonder if just instituting #8 might not be even better!

This was implemented significantly ages ago ! :)
