Dr Barry Barry Peatfield

[Booblet]

Hi,

Does anybody know if Dr Dr Peatfield still sees patients?

[douglasbrown]

I don't think so, I think he's 86 years old!

He's retired. I have wondered if we would ever find out if/when he dies. I know he was very ill when he retired.

That bothers me too. In the event of his death, I would hope there'd be a forum announcement by TUK admin.

Dr Barry Peatfield was a stupendous person who was an excellent doctor who treated his patients according to their symptoms.

I believe he was the 'last of the Old School' of doctors trained upon clinical symptoms to diagnose patients.

One book everyone should read is 'Tears Behind Closed Doors' and I still think that there are a number of situations that are identical in the UK every single day but many patients have no respite due to the guidelines.

I am not sure as I haven't heard. I know he was in his 80's.

I have come across this info:-

Thanks for info. I don't know how that happened. I tried again but nothing links to the Daily Mail.

He is now 84. I hope he is still well.

Yes, and it's a pity that the 'modern day' doctors haven't known how to diagnose/treat without the need for blood tests and he had many successes.

[shaws Administrator]

Good to speak to you too, as you've had a long lapse doing a post.

I hope you feel much better now,

Yes, Dr P died and his knowledge along with him, as our "older doctors' had more knowledge and common sense and treated the patients symptoms rather than the result of a blood test.
