Alasdair
Sounds horrible but yes, this sort of madness happens all over the country.
Most important the practice stick together and also that you get support.
Have to talked to the LMC?
I'm not sure this is the sort of story that should be shared in detail on a
public site however; is there some other way you could share it more
privately?
