Most docs work really hard to help us, so I don't think we have to be quite as cynical as you are being, Alan.

How does that help Alex now? Maybe it will help him to avoid invasive treatments which have no evidence base , that don't work and possibly make matters worse. But I would suggest we ask the doctors who have been carrying out this - at best - useless treatment for so many years why they did it. I'm ...

Possibly it's something to do with a recent study, which Jason commented on a while ago. I've found and copied his post about it and wil...
