So I put up with it for another 12 months, believing I would just have to wait till I was totally crocked.

In desperation 3 weeks ago I booked an appointment with the osteo (the one that also treats the NHS referrals), and 1/2 hour later my back is better than for years. . Hardly surprising I was p****d off with the GP.

If I was in charge of the NHS , I would give all fit, healthy, sporting types preferrential treatment for everything. And the rest could bloody well wait at the back of the cue. Sod 'em. Sorted.

so everyone that doent run 40miles a week or cycle 50 miles a week wouldnt get treated molehill, shocking
