Always at least one circle marked

There should be at least one circle filled-up on each DATE unless the NO TREATMENT box is marked.

No Treatment/Day pass

Should only be shaded if there is no treatment/procedure made on that date.

Black Blobbing (or whatever you guys called it

The circle(s) should be fully shaded using a black pen or marker (ie. not half or partially shaded circle) .

Correcting mistakes

If made a mistake, cross out (X) the erroneous circle(s), shade the correct circle(s) and put an X on the square box at the end of the row where the correction was done.

If all entries in a row are correct, do not put any mark on the square box.
