Doctors' referral and clinic letters - is this code?

[TheLeadbetterLife]

Could any doctors in the house weigh in on the little codes they use to each other in referral and clinic letters please?

For example this:

"She has multiple other problems that she has seen many colleagues for review"

Is this code for hypochondriac?

NB this is not my clinic note, it's a friend's (she says she gets it a lot in the letters).

Not necessarily, friend could just have a complex medical history and be seeing other consultants for other things, I usually put that term (roughly I usually say "x y z health conditions, oleae see correspondance from my colleagues in the relevant department") in my letters to urge them to look through TRAK (our medical records system) to see the letters from other departments with more detail on the other conditions instead of me explaining it all (if it's diabetic specialist they are seeing, they will ha e separate entries from the diabetic team more indepth than my "type 2 diabetic" in my own letters if that makes sense?)

Could also be the doc saying something else, but that's how it works in my dept (obstetrics/Fetal medicine) so may or may not be relevant to this.

More than likely not.

Probably means the doctor just didn't want to spend ages in the letter listing out a whole load of stuff that isn't related to his/her specialty.
