Yet another gp appointment at 9am tomorrow morning
Got a friend who is a retired chest consultant, really don’t want to ask him, but maybe I’ll have to

Definitely ask him
He'll be happy to talk I'm sure, and it is good to have someone that can guide you in terms of what you ask and subtly push for. The quality of consultants and doctors has changed with retirements and lower grades replacing them. My uncle who used to be a surgeon gets very frustrated when he's taking to doctors as a patient now at the level of experience and knowledge. Consequences of cost cutting. So talk to your friend, share what you know so far and get some advice.
