Use of "normal" to describe patients #8

Use of "normal" to describe patients This is a bit nit-picky, but in talking about imputing missing data, the word "normal" is equated with healthy when talking about patient data. I usually avoid using "normal" since it can carry ableist connotations.

Thanks for raising this Melanie, important point. We'll get this fixed.
