A doctor's appointment runs to ten minutes, and the question that matters most is usually the one you cannot answer on the spot: when did this start, how often, what makes it worse. Memory answers that question badly under pressure.
Each symptom page gives that day one place to be written down, in your own words, on the day it happened rather than reconstructed in a waiting room. A shorter run of reflection pages comes later in the book, for a longer look back once a pattern has had time to show itself, or not.
The book does not score, grade or interpret anything you write on it. It has no opinion on what a symptom means, and it is not where that question gets answered; that conversation still belongs to whoever is treating you.

In every book
The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.
- This book belongs to
- One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
- My details
- Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
- Emergency numbers
- Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
- Point at this
- A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
- World map
- Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
- Conversion tables
- Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
- Pen test leaf
- The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.

Questions
What goes on a symptom page?
Whatever you noticed that day, in your own words: when it started, what it felt like, what came before it.
Does it diagnose anything?
No. It records what you write. Diagnosis is a conversation with whoever is treating you, not something a printed page can do.
Can I bring it to an appointment?
Yes, that is what the daily pages are for: a record you can hand over or read from, in your own words and your own order.
How big is it?
A5, 148 x 210 mm, 120 pages, 6.86 mm across the spine.
Is it dated?
No. Start it on whichever day you decide to start keeping the record.
Even where it is thought of at all, the most extraordinary misconceptions reign about it.
