Doug, it is no fun being a Doctor at present.....there are so many pressures on them to meet targets. It is almost like being on a production line.

I don't feel it is necessary for people to have these proposed tests done by a medically trained person......it will be enough work for the GP's to monitor the people that these tests identify as being 'at risk'.

Oh, and well done on your pro-active attitude to your own health.....and weight loss.
