What I am acutely aware of is how very busy a GP in a national healthcare system is. If this were the US where the book was distributed to docs in private practice, then I am certain that very few would have the time to read it. Not that they wouldn't want to, but simply that they do not have the time to. -Steve www.thegenesherpa.blogspot.com No of course not.

That just made me cry harder, that she had no idea even how it transmitted! Even though I'd just heard of HD a few days earlier, I knew there was no way it could "skip a generation". So yeah, I think a lot of them could use such a book.
