THE Limerick Agricultural Show, the county’s largest family and agricultural festival, returns to Limerick Racecourse on Saturday August 22.

As well as all the old favourites, this year’s show will feature a new Healthy Living zone, and the opportunity to be seen by TV doctors Dr Pixie McKenna and Dr Phil Kieran.

An RTÉ camera crew will be at the show on the day filming new medical series ‘You Should Really See A Doctor’, which will see the two doctors travelling to events around the country offering on-the-spot consultations and health checks at their pop-up clinic.

Programme makers say they are interested in hearing from Limerick people who may have been researching symptoms online but have been putting off a visit to their GP.

A spokesperson for the station said: “We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have researched their symptoms online and would like a real doctor’s advice. Most of us have been there: you feel a mild pain in the head and next thing you’re reading an internet article about a rare tropical disease that you think you might have. From stomach problems, to sleep issues to skin problems – the real doctors want to hear from you.”
