When l told, l was in total shock, the poor guy was only 49 years old and married, and the frustrating thing about it was they didn't even give him tests or an x ray which would have shown up any problems.

Even his GP, didn't send him up to the hospital, the appointment was made via the Gp surgery. A GP can always check if a person has anything wrong with the head by shining a torch in the person eyes, and for some unknown reason a GP can tell if there is a problem.

I know from my daughter, who suffers migraine that you can get severe headaches, she takes tablets and it goes after a time, but this poor guy had a constant headache, and was told to take painkillers.

It brings back sad memories of my wife's very close friend, who had constant headaches for six months, and she was sent to various GPs for second opinions and several hospitals and eventually her husband sent her to a private GP, who found out within days that she had a Brain Tumour and she was seen, in hospital and treated withing days and is now recovering well.

I just simply cannot understand the medical profession.
