pfo checks were in SE ?

[colinicky]

Having now had 2 unexplained bends in 4 months I want to get checked out for a pfo especially as I am going deeper & longer .Does anybody know of anywere in the SE that I could get this done ? I realise that to get it done in a sensible time frame I will probably need to go private .
I know of a doc in Bristol but would prefer somewere closer
Many thanks

Colin,

All these specialist usually know each other. Why don't you contact that guy in Bristol, and ask who he can recomend in your area? He's not going to 'not' tell you, and recomend you see him, as thats not what you asked for. He should give you at least a couple of names of Doctors to contact.

Good luck,

I've pm'd you with my email address. I can send over docs on pfo for you if you like.

Atlernatively if you don't get this before I leave, you can find them here.
