PMR GCA all in Doc Martin series last night

Watching a repeated series of Doc Martin last night on ITV 9.00pm. I'd seen the episode when it first came out, but PMR & GCA meant nothing to me then. They obviously researched the issue and gave a really good airing to the symptoms. Though I'm not sure his cousin ever got the Steroid injection. Also he carried out a temple Biopsy, but don't try that at home. No doubt PMRGCA.uk were aware when it was first shown, perhaps were even involved in getting the issue aired. Great publicity.
