In 1972, Jeremy Gavins underwent a form of aversion therapy where he was given electric shocks as a hope of his teachers that he'd become straight. 

At this time, both the NHS and the leading psychiatrists thought that homosexuality was a personality disorder. So, when Jeremy's GP received this letter, they thought nothing of it and allowed the conversion therapy to happen.
