Readers of this blog may have realised that I enjoy writing "letters to the editor" so, as I subscribe to The Week magazine I thought I would feature some of those letters from its 'pick of the week's correspondence' which I find amusing or pertinent.
With the NHS in the news for all the wrong reasons, as usual, patients are apparently advised of three steps to take before booking a GP appointment. I found this letter made me smile - especially as I am fond of dogs.

The doctor won't see you now.
To The Daily Telegraph
The NHS's latest advice to patients reflects the sad deterioration of the system.
My wife and I have, for some time, added a fourth step: we consult our daughter, who is a vet. The consultation is informed and accurate, and we get a biscuit at the end.
