Since I profess to be a bit of a purist in regard to the use of the English language, I can only add that it is a question of the "biter being bit." Nonetheless, it is necessary to point out that many persons do use the term "subjective findings" to describe a certain series of symptoms that a patient may have. I shall try to do better in the future, providing Dr Halliday also stops writing "I personally."
