Concerns about controversial MS treatment
Serious concerns have been raised about a controversial vein-widening treatment being offered to people with multiple sclerosis. An investigation by BBC Inside Out discovered that one doctor carrying out the procedure in Egypt is not licensed to practice medicine in that country. The BBC understands that in the UK, an NHS GP has been reported to the doctors' watchdog, the General Medical Council, for organising the treatment through his private company at a cost of nearly £8,000.
