I'm really heartened to read of the men on here who have these tests, maybe the trend is increasing and men more aware.  :)

I think there was something about Toby Perkins father having an AA in Germany and luckily he was very near to help and his life was saved.Normally you have no chance.
My brother in laws sister in law took ill at the dentists just before Christmas and was taken to hospital,where after a three hour wait they saw her but she suddenly took a turn for the worse and died.The post mortem gave  her death as an AA.
It must be far more prevalent in men because they do not seem to have a programme for females.
On a slightly different tack about hospitals a lady I know slipped on the ice near her home and had a cut behind her ear.She went to A&E just before midnight on the Saturday evening and finally arrived home at 8.30am on the Sunday morning.That to me is totally unacceptable  and it makes you dread that you may have to go there.She said it was not all that busy.

Oh dear so sorry to hear of the death of this lady umpire.
When I had the chat with the nurse in Chesterfield Hospital who was promoting the AA scan she told me that in general it only affected men for some reason and women didn't need the scan - it appears that maybe a small minority of women may be affected from what you say umpire.
Sounds as well as if the hospital is hit and miss with getting people through A&E then as I have been twice in recent months and both times the wait hasn't been too long.

I also hear on the news this morning that a 'Liver' test is becoming available, the Liver disease is becoming high on the list of causes of death. The Dr reported that the YOUNGEST person he had seen with this disease was 17 years old !!!
It seems it is not just alcohol related but obesity and other reasons are among the rise in this disease!!

If its a test for Hiatus Hernia Simon, you don't have to be at a certain age.  It's a condition that can affect at ANY time.  Get off to the GP and explain the symptoms.

Below is a list of foods that trigger mine, and I avoid them as much as possible.  Perhaps the other sufferers amongst us can add to the list......

Chocolate (boo hoo!)
Cheese
Onions
Rich gravy



Too much fried stuff
Citrus fruit (I love oranges but they hate me)


My friend's diet is mainly fish, chicken, ( red meat only in very small amounts ) vegetables and lots of fruit - she can and does eat oranges, so it does affect people differently. She doesn't drink alcohol.
Chocolate - she enjoys it, but rations herself to two squares a night as she says she can tolerate that amount - and loves choccie !!



There's probably more than this but they are the ones that spring immediately to mind.

Anyone else?
