[My emphasis in quote] Do you mean "low growth hormone levels"?

Okay, this is annoying me and I want to understand the hodgepodge of nouns and verbs in the following title to try and make sense of it. Title of article : "BMC family practice integrated GP care for patients with persistent physical symptoms" "BMC Family Practice" is the name of the journal...

This must be one of my brain fog days. I don't even understand the title.
