Thankyou all for your comments - keep 'em coming
News from the Lovechild camp is that I made my points to the Civvy locum doctor, and quickly established that the SMO has the power to over rule and give special dispensation, so I'm still a gnats cock short of being grounded.
2nd set of blood samples getting done and interview with the SMO coming up. That's where I get to argue against medical downgrade whilst waiting to go to Peterborough.
All info on this subject gratefully accepted, but I'm nowhere near the pill popping stage yet.
