Dutch term or phrase: ... is het plaatje rond
This phrase comes up in a medical text discussing possible diagnoses for a patient. The sentence says that when the patient's blood results are interpreted together with the patient's clinical condition "is het plaatje rond".
Any suggestions for this phrase much appreciated.
