Patients can write in to me at busypencilcasecfp@gmail but cases must not involve litigation and named criticism of clinicians. I do not provide treatment. The author refuses to respond to any queries that have insufficient information or do not use a recognisable email address. All opinions are given in good faith but do not replace the advice from registered clinicians.

Always seek advice from a registered clinician through the Health & Care Professions Council or the General Medical Council.

Those services advertising should not make statements that suggest they are the best, leading experts or have high percentage success without justification, verification or independent peer review publication.
