I have been in correspondence with a young man who has been
reading some of my novels (on my webpages, dammit - go there right now!).
He has recently written to me:

I have, of course, replied but I am now feeling guilty.
It would be cruel if this young man were to receive only my
jaundiced views about general practice.
Perhaps some GP-UKers could find the time to send him some
positive information.
His email address is: [log in to unmask] (Nick Loman)
Perhaps you could copy posts to the list. While they wouldn't
necessarily cheer me up, they might at least confirm the
presence in the world of a handful of shiny happy people.
Take care everyone.
