Sounds intriguing although most of your link went over my fluffy little head. The woman seeing 30 doctors is certainly believable and probably not uncommon.

Do report back!

Yes, the link is quite dense isn't it? I didn't finish it myself. But I like the idea of this 'behind the scenes' look at medicine and that you can get more out of them if you know how to communicate. Or that's the principle anyway. Will let you know if it's any good.

Looks good. I can certainly relate to the nice doctor/rubbish clinician part. I also liked the list of questions at the end...simple but effective. As it is written from a USA perspective and things are different there, I would love to see a similar piece written about NHS doctors. Now that would be interesting reading.
