Thank you for encouraging people to engage with doctors - my experiences are in the UK where cost isn't even a barrier. But the impact (on loved ones) of people becoming alienated from proper medical treatment terrorises me and I'm sure many others. I have nightmares about it daily.

While I'm here, I'd like to submit my own 'cat of yore'. Mia died of heart failure caused, I think, by a steroid the vet gave for her weakness/wobbliness at 16, following a vestibular disorder. They refused to accept any fault. Losing her broke my heart. Thank you for all your positive messaging.
