This was based on a scan (which we've since found out was read by someone not qualified to do so) coming back as all clear and his career as a Paramedic meaning he must be prone to hypochondria.
What makes it worse is that after a while you side with the Dr's and stop listening. For 6 months I've thought he was full of shit and now I feel like an absolute cunt.
FUCK the NHS.
