Thanks for the links so far, folks!

Rhesus, it's a fact that UK medical services (even private) are inadequate. The doctors themselves would be the first to agree. It comes down to allocation of funds. 1/3 of women and 1/8 of men will get osteoporosis at some stage in their life (not necessarily in old age either). Yet in the UK breast cancer, for instance, which is more rare, gets 49 times the funding.

pornguy, I've been googling for hours. Have passed on much to my parents.

Without going into too much detail (would take me hours / days to explain it all) she has other health issues. Taken as a whole, no one doctor / specialist is adequate for all her problems. And, yet, each doctor must work in conjunction, so as not to give her treatment that would have adverse affects with regard her competing problems.

Today's experience with her specialist (who's a research scientist and not adept at dealing with people) has left her wanting to seek alternative medical help. So I'm just basically trying to do my part to help out.
