A Tyne Tees Television Northern Life report in which Tony Cook speaks with Mrs Pat Gray of Morpeth about her ongoing dispute with local GP’s. In the living room of her Morpeth home, Tony Cook speaks with Mrs Pat Gray with regards issues she has and with the General Practitioners in the town. Following an incident involving her eldest child in 1968 in which she believes her doctor mis-diagnosed a collapsed lung, she has been branded a troublemaker and has been forced to move her and her families from one practice to another every three months. She doesn’t believe she has done anything wrong. Tony reads to Mrs Gray a letter written to her by a solicitor she had hired back in 1969 to investigate her complains. It concludes that the doctors in the towns three practices do consider her to be unreasonable and someone who makes unwarranted complains. She believes because of this television report she will be asked to change practices again. The letter concludes by suggesting that Mrs Gray and her family leave Morpeth to start a new life, she refuses. A 27 second insert for this report is also included in which Mrs Gray explains that she feels that doctors in the town are treating people like cattle. She wants to know why she is being seen as a criminal. She doesn’t care what happens to her only that her children are accepted.
