Psychological letters in criminal cases: bail conditions and curfews
The work is a structured assessment, not advocacy dressed as medicine. Medical evidence in criminal proceedings is usually discussed in terms of fitness to plead or sentencing.

Recurrent chest infection on one side, why the pattern matters more than the single episode
When the same chest infection keeps coming back on the same side, the next move is not another empirical course. It is a deliberate rotation, a structured treatment plan, and a specialist airway opinion.
Croup at night, tonsillitis on top, and why the second steroid dose at the right hour matters
Barking cough, fever, swollen tonsils. When croup and tonsillitis happen together, why the second dose at the right hour matters and how a same day private GP can carry the plan over the line.

Twelve months of bedwetting and a tired family that needs a plan
