    Soappie - this is how the appointment went:

    Consultant: Hello, how old are you?
    DS3: Fine thanks
    Consultant: five?
    Me to DS3: the doctor asked how old you are
    DS3: oh 7
    Consultant to me: I guess this is why you are here.

    You have to laugh..

    Yes, you have to laugh when it's put like that... a wise cracking consultant is a good thing I think. Hopefully he's just gunged up after a cold or something but I hope things resolve themselves without, as you say, without intervention stuff. xx
