I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Easy, if you haven't seen the Doc in 4 years then you haven't got it, OK?

A Doc is only a general practioner. This means they follow a system and usually only diagnose what you knew already. You need to see a doc to get a prescription or a referral to a specialist.

For instance I knew I was deaf, the audiologist knew I was deaf. I then had to go to my GP who agreed I was deaf. I then went back to the audiologist but had to see a specialist before I got my hearing aids. Complete jobsworth nonsense. I now see the audiologist every 6 months of so, he is far more specialist than the docs.
