[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2352259, member: 25851"] Yes - that was the impression I had. It doesn't work well for folk like me. Must say though, that the old fashioned way didn't always work for me. Even when I was a teenager, when my family doctor diagnosed a problem with my appendix (best doctor I ever came across), he had to battle with a consultant at the hospital to get any action. That doctor looked superficially at me and diagnosed "nerves due to upcoming O levels". Months later, when the consultant was on holiday, his registrar accepted my GP's diagnosis. My appendix was so damaged with multiple abscesses that they couldn't do the keyhole surgery they hoped for and I was left with a huge scar on my abdomen. That was my early experience with the health service. There's something about me (possibly one of the most laid-back persons you will come across - apart from Neil) that makes people, particularly doctors, think I am a bag of nerves and that is my main health issue.
