4fitter,
Fortunately no personal experience for me, but as you know we work pretty closely with the guys down the back, both during pre-deployment and on Ops so get a pretty good insight into the medical world and what is going through their minds.
And also a fair few books written by those on the ground in the early years of HERRICK passed comment on their personal lack of confidence in the pre-QE Birmingham era, not helped by the usual sensationalist headline grabbing tabloids et al (but there was no smoke without fire I believe).
And my kin are well thanks - last one through Uni so that's me home and dry (well I can kid myself!)
