A doctor's note wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference. Openreach are under a lot of pressure to cut costs at the moment. They'd want the full cost paid for to move the pole. The stay wire can't be moved to another side as it needs to be on the side it is to counteract the weight of the cables.
The only option as I can see it is to move the whole pole but of course then you'd have to put a new wire up to every house. Very expensive job.
