Handshake diagnosed brain tumour
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7246419.stm
I wonder what the odds were of meeting a specialist like that.

Re: Handshake diagnosed brain tumour
It's a rather terrifying thought.I certainly don't think I'd have gone to see a doctor with those symptoms.Well not until it was too late.

I certainly wouldn't mind having him as my GP. I just wish all GP's had the same, incredible, diagnostic skills.

Dr Britt, who works as a GP in Woodford Green, said he had not seen a case of acromegaly since he was a medical student working in a specialist hospital.
|
Suggests he had seen a case earlier, unlike most GPs (which makes sense as it's a rare disorder).

Re: Handshake diagnosed brain tumour
Doctors, to me are brilliant, they find all these problems, that you might have, problem is with my surgery is that, we have locums, and are only there for a few months at a time, but my main GP, l have haven't seen in ten years, as she has a waiting list that last, several months. 10/10 for Doctors.
