Double Quotes vs. Single Quotes
When the text from the memo field (summary) was converted to a new data base in 2001, double quotes (usually relating to scaring inches) were converted to single quotes. Consequently, in some scar descriptions in summaries prior to 2001, the length of scars may incorrectly state some portion of a foot or feet when it should be some portion of an inch or inches. This conversion error is pretty obvious; as it would be impossible to have a 2-1/2 foot scar on a cheek, etc.
