Re: Asthma
G'day,
Having said that there are certainly a lot of GPs who think that the diagnosis of asthma is over used and I have spoken to a number of Drs who say that the understanding of asthma is better in NZ than in Oz, probably due to the weather there!
Cheers.
N.B Another reminder that 'medical advice' from the internet should not be taken as gospel.

I don't think the weather has anything to do with it, more a case of researching the cause instead of merely treating the symptoms.
Of course the wet cold weather could lead to the NZ GP's spending more time inside studying
