thats a handy tip to have..ive never noticed it smelling minty
my doctors are crap tbh ! they never want to help and you cannot make an appointment unless you ring at 8am that day..... every tim ei ring my gp is fully booked and he is the one who was with me in hospital because he is a part time surgeon aswell! so he knows everything. they had 3 appointments for tomorrow when i ran earlier so if they arent there at 8am i will be fuming!
i hope you get sorted soon
