If you require
assistance, whether it is because you are seeking treatment, you have a suspected
knee problem or you just need some general information or guidance please
feel free to email.....
The
General Medical Council of the United Kingdom has given the
following advice to doctors in relation to e-mail consultations.
1) The doctor asked to discuss e-mail cases will not know the full patient
details.
2) Not all facts including the findings from a physical examination of the
patient and the past medical history may be known.
3) There will be no provision for the monitoring of a case or follow-up
care.
Accordingly, clinical advice should be obtained from your own general
practitioner or surgeon. Unsolicited E-mail asking for medical advice, surgical
or physician referrals and sources of medical information can only be
answered in a general non-specific sense.
Should you wish to obtain detailed advice from Mr. Fergus Paterson, you are
advised to make an
appointment for a personal consultation.
All enquiries are
treated in the strictest confidence.
