Letter: Why we need doctors like Nigel Cox

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
AS A rheumatoid arthritic I was stunned and saddened by Dr Nigel Cox, Rheumatology Consultant at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital, being found guilty of attempted murder.
It is a great pity that the jury did not consist of some rheumatoid arthritics, as the ordinary person has no conception of the severity of the pain the condition can cause. We cannot afford to lose such a consultant as Dr Nigel Cox and I sincerely hope that when my time comes I shall have such a caring, understanding and conscientious doctor.
The law should be changed.
