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

I don't think you would find anybody in medical profession that would agree with the description shady.

The problem is possibly a double one. Mothers who push little Johny as precious and in need of special needs and GPs who, by definition, are generalists and not ENT specialists.

If a specialist has confirmed asthma then that is of course the end of the matter. It would appear however that GPs will re-diagnose but on a 50-50 basis would a specialist believe the cure? If they got it wrong the first time why did they get it right the second?

And Jonesy, if that is anywhere near your name would suggest you pick another one. Jones from Darlington may stick in someone's memory as you go through the system.
