Hi Tomas, I managed to get myself together enough to go and see my GP about using generics and monitoring some weeks ago,as i needed to change my blood pressure meds as there is a possible interaction . He stopped me before i got to the point and said are you trying to say you want monitoring, and said, just book in with the practice nurse , what ever tests i need. You may get the opposite response but you’ve nothing to loose. I was very supprised. My GP practice is a busy rural practice and this may make a difference. Hi to all you good people,my first post for some time, just hav’nt been able to get myself together much lately. BIG thanks to you LG.

There is a solution to this problem of unbridled greed and non empathetic behavior but that calls for the non psychopathic to do what they can’t bring themselves to do. But we need to be careful also as the profession with by far the highest % of psychopaths is surgeons. Perhaps Gilead would be interested in doing some R and D on this pandemic crisis for the good of humanity.

Think i just lost my link virginity.

Had my first fibroscan six weeks ago at london clinic,carried out by a very competent specialist hepatology nurse.score 6.5.One week later had my first nhs appointment with again a very competent nurse.score 5.Both nurses carried out the scan in exactly the same way.The only difference was for the first scan i had fasted and the second one i had had food two hrs earlier.The scans were done at the same time of day. I think to get the most accurate score you would need to have a number of scans,lets just say six or eight,a few days apart and take the median average as the score.Perhaps a clinic somewhere could trial this.
