Sorry no.

Can your GP not refer you or supply a list, or the NHS direct health line?

He is good. He hepled me when two operations at Accy Vic failed.

He's called Martin Dixon.

If you're looking for a private consultation, ring your provider (BUPA, PPP) and ask them for a recommendation. If it's the NHS, then sorry, you'll be stuck with whoever has got a space on the list.

Martin Dixon is an osteopath isn't he? It's not the same as orthopaedic surgeon.

I thought so!

He does other things as well though.

In my last year at college I was walking with a stick after two botched operations. After taking some medecine, eating just raw vegetables and bran for a month, and boiling my underwear in a pan, hey presto I was cured.

He did something to me with magnets once when I trapped a nerve. Acupuncture too but I can't remember what that was for. Wonder if he does anything for memory lapses?

I saw Mr Mohan at Beardwood yesterday. He was very good. Straight to teh point, told me what I wanted to know. Axa paid for me, not sure how much he costs normally.
