John Warren MD – My Story 13 January 2025
I am an 82-year-old retired physician. I trained at Cambridge and The London Hospital Medical College, qualifying in 1966. I was appointed a consultant physician at Princess Alexandra Hospital Harlow in 1975, in general and respiratory medicine. I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia in about 1993. I describe the gradual onset of puzzling symptoms that defied my own diagnostic skills. Since diagnosis I have managed my own treatment, and found that the recommended maintenance dosage of vitamin B12 was not sufficient to keep me symptom free.
