Abstract
In the course of his work, a General Practitioner working in the United Kingdom encounters a victim of torture. Although at first failing to recognise (given her background and the symptoms she presents) that she may be vulnerable, and may have been tortured, he later becomes involved in her battle for asylum. In the course of this he learns how the UK asylum system operates and the role health professionals can play in supporting victims of torture.
