Thank goodness for your daughter and her strength in not feeling afraid to speak up. It's so scary to think that there's to be a waiting list of 78 weeks to be seen at the Neurology hospital.

I love this embroilment between  Chantelle and Frankie. Sounds like this guy Frankie is really into unscrupulous operations...and without much success.

Look forward to reading more.
