I think I read this article about six months ago in the Daily Mail,
it was very magazine like and not really worth looking up, although
it does provide the name of a doctor prepared to diagnose T.M. We had
no problems getting our young son diagnosed by Dr Ferrie at Leeds
General Infirmary in England, in fact he was diagnosed with it the
day he had his MRI, so maybe the person struggling to get a diagnosis
was just unlucky in their local hospital. There is nothing to stop
your G.P. from referring you somewhere outside the region. We have an
appointment to see a Spinal Injuries Consultant in another city later
this month.

Hi Jane and everyone,
Speed of diagnosis varies between doctors anywhere in the more developed
countries of the world. Communications(patient to doctor), doctor's
competantcy,availability of technological resources,both doctor and patient
ego's, and maybe even the doctor of the moments' concern about tea or tee
times. But I agree there is no major difference between the USA and the UK in
getting a dx.
