Some great posts here. Can't add much as others have said it so eloquently already, but as a past patient of NH I'm dismayed to hear what's happened to Dr Newson. Such attitudes don't bode well for the wellbeing of women at menopause & beyond, but we can all do our bit to help bring about change by continuing to support & empower each other with the sharing of experience & knowledge, so we feel better informed & more confident in pushing for the treatment we need & upholding our right to it when that's challenged.
Robin, I'm saddened to know the detail you've posted here of what happened to you - my heart goes out to you for all you've been through.
