No they won't unless they, as the Medical Centre, are aware of the Mutual Support Group's existence and not all are (I suspect most aren't). Even worse, if it is a Civ Med Practice who don't understand the RAF procedures and have to be taken through them by the patient. Most doctors may have a case or 2 of MS in their entire careers, so their understanding of support fror MS is scant at best/completely absent at worst. I found out about the MSG through a good chum who works in the Community Support side of the RAF as a civilian - without her I'd be none the wiser. Once I'd made contact with the MSG, and heard a friendly voice at the end of the telephone whose first response wasn't 'no, now what was the question?', life became a little easier as the sensation about being entirely on my own with MS disappeared.
