Actually - I thought that was a good clarification, and it - together with some other changes we've made in 2.0 - were enough to convince us to make this change for 2.0. Thanks again!

Sadly - our answer has to be no - but for a reason that is more good than bad. HealthFrame 2.0 is very nearly complete and ready for release. We have made vast improvements in HealthFrame 2.0, and lots of partners are anxiously waiting to begin using some of our new functionality, so we really cannot afford signifcant delays.
We certainly appreciate the point you are making and will do everything we can to address this in HealthFrame 3.0. We will even discuss the possability of folding some kind of solution to this problem into HealthFrame 2.1 (possibly as soon as this summer) - but at this point - I cannot say that is likely.

I'm afraid its too close to the release of 2.0 for us to rethink this issue. We do have some ideas we'll consider in the not too distant future that may help hide some of this complexity for those who don't need it (something like a details button that expands/hides details about the dates?)
As for separating out "Therapeutic and preventative vs.surgery" - I'm not sure thats a commonly accepted dichotomy in the medical world (as I think some surgeries maybe therapeutic or preventative). We will check on that
Thanks for all of your valuable suggestions and feedback. We look forward to hearing back what you think of HealthFrame 2.0!
