Cedric, I don't understand: - is the result of this that you comply on paper (by somebody else making a fake diagnosis in order to satisfy nonsensical bureaucrat demands) - or is the result that the consultant changes therapy, and if so, what are the outcomes in your experience? I am very interested in this because this is one of the few areas where I reckon the PBS has got it entirely wrong to the detriment of both patients and taxpayers Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
