It is a heart-rending story but thank goodness Lorraine discovered Dr Skinner, as I did. I also live in Scotland and saw him at his clinic in Glasgow. I wish Lorraine every luck with Holyrood and praise her for managing to bring her plight to the wider public. Thank you too, Helvella, for sharing the article.
