Tell us about your request!
Sometimes, it's necessary to know 'precisely' how old a patient is so that the appropriate care can be given to the patient. This is especially helpful in pediatrics where a day old baby, for example, requires a different treatment from a 9 month old baby. Displaying both their ages as 0 years may do more harm than good.
