Hope you are feeling better Mick,
I have to disagree with your comments re Doctors ours have been absolutely awesome and really helpful with phonecalls and Skype calls
I also had to go in once for bloods and they were again very good (we come under Stratford Upon Avon / Warwickshire)
I do agree with having dodgy and decent doctors and GP practices everywhere as we have friends who are at a different practice a few miles and not had anywhere near the same
