For her patient population, she learned that a large percentage did not know where to start on these instructions. Some started at the beginning, some the middle and some the last page. I believe she resolved this problem by placing large page numbers, in circles,at the bottom of all pages, including the cover page. If "Chee" Stanton is still at Grady she could tell you more. best wishes, Len and Ceci Doak Patient Learning Assoc. Inc.
