‘I’m afraid you suffer from lamprophony,’ the doctor whispered.

I leant against the chair, not sure what he was going to say next. I paid one thousand pounds into his bank, and all I got back was a word I didn’t understand. To avoid looking foolish, I nodded in all the right places.

His wall, full of fancy certificates, must mean he knows what he’s doing.

‘Can you cure me?’ I pleaded.

‘Yes, but it is not available on the NHS. It will cost another five thousand.’
