Thanks Kitty, Friend and Lady.

The state I live in is the smallest one in Oz, and there are/were only 3 neuros to serve the entire state. I have no idea how they're going to replace him as there's such a shortage of doctors of all varieties here anyway.

ABCs have to be ordered by a neuro here, and one neuro told me that even head and spinal MRI's have to be ordered by one. Then there's VRE's and similar neuro investigations... the list goes on. Today there are people out there who can't get their ABC scripts renewed because only a neuro prescribe them in this state.

I did hear this morning that they're going to approach the Oz government to enable GPs to order these meds and tests until a locum or new neuro can be found. If they do, then maybe a precident could be set here. (Just thinking out loud!) I was wondering if there were any other Ozzies here who get their's from GP's already?

There's so much you take for granted..... then suddenly it's no longer there!
