Well John, having worked in Nephrology if anyone knows about piss you do.

We had a similar thread to this some months back and the general flavour
was that most GPs intensely dislike home visits. The remainder admire
their frontal lobotomy scars every morning in the mirror.

The best thing is not to take it personally. I think there is a certain
notion abroad that if you are a caring parent it's your job to be anxious
and kick ass when it comes to dealing with the medical profession. They
read all about it in the glossy magazines and then when they are in the
Hair Salon they can say " I gave that 2 bit kidney specialist doctor a
piece of my mind and sorted him out etc etc" You know the sort of
thing. -----------------------------------------------------
