I would recommend you try your best to get Mark admitted to hospital, even if it is 45miles away.Good luck.
I also meant to add the best thing my GP done for me was to refer me to the Chronic Pain Clinic, they took the time to look at my history and treat me, it has been very successful - you may find they will be able to do more for your husband than the neurologist - just because they give a diagnosis doesnt mean they will be able to provide a treatment but the Pain service treats the pain
