Thank you very much for that...I'm certainly tempted to make an appointment. It's always a matter of where best to channel the funds for maximum benefit and progress...I'm also thinking about going the route of Prof. De Meirleir.I have known Abhijit as a friend and medical colleague ever since he worked with Professor Peter Behan at the Institute of Neurological Sciences, Southern General Hospital, in Glasgow
He is now based at Queens Hospital in Romford but sees occasional private patients when he is back in Glasgow
Abhijit also advises the MEA on clinical and research matters relating to neurology
