CASE STUDY

John is a 46 year old man who initially complained of increasing weakness in his legs.  Always an anxious man, at first this was put down to stress.  When the weakness worsens, however, the suspicion turns to motor neurone disease.  He is married with two teenage children. 

He comes to see you for an initial 20 minute appointment.
