British Journal of General Practice, 2008 I took a moment to listen to his breathing. My heart sank. Even without the aid of a stethoscope, it sounded like stridor and, given his age and past smoking, a bronchial carcinoma until proven otherwise. It had not been an easy trip for my Dad who, accompanied by Mum, had fallen through the system when their first connecting flight from Glasgow had ...
