If you want a full transcript it's not too hard to download the subtitles.

Just re-watching that bit I'm not certain the doctor is questioning the ME diagnosis, I think when he refers to ME he means the literal translation of inflammation in the brain rather than the illness defined as ME/CFS. This is the transcript if anyone else can help make sense of it. So, the...

Wow by episode 6 they really sink to a new low, this is narrated by doctors and partners over a sequence ending on a still of the featured participants including Jamison. I wonder, "Is he imagining this to the point that it becomes real?" Is this in her head? Is it psychosomatic? There is...

A real gem at the beginning of episode 3 Dr: I've had a few patients who became so identified with their illness they really weren't willing to be cured.

As you say these are two separate things, dismissing a condition is not dismissing that the person is ill and suffering and deserving of help and compassion, just that you disagree on the medical condition to which they have attributed the illness. If you genuinely believe the diagnosis is...

I'll add it to my playlist, looking through the episode list though I'm not too enthusiastic about some of the conditions that are being put in the same basket as ME.

You might think as a trans-woman she might me more sympathetic to a minority who've had rights taken away on the back of biased research and been labelled science denying militant activists when they complain. *edit - Actually I take that back, apparently AFAB is assigned female at birth so I'm...

Mildly encouraging, I wonder if this data sharing platform will be more independent than the Cochrane group.

Could this be an opportunity to push MS on the proposed independent reanalysis of the trial data ? Probably still a long shot but he's looking a little desperate right now, if he is as confident as he claims to be that it was all done properly then he should be all for it.

I was looking for some data on how often drugs from promising pilot studies actually turn out to be tolerable effective treatments, it's pretty low, the the table below suggests a large majority fail a phases 2 or 3, and until phase 2 is complete the drug is not presumed to have any therapeutic...

I don't understand then how you have been using the substance thus far, are the rules that govern uncontrolled trials different to the rules that govern controlled trials ?

I just struggle to understand the point of such a trial it doesn't tell us anything, people have good days and bad days, it is impossible to know how many participants would have reported feeling better at the end point if they had had no treatment at all and we know from studies of homeopathy...

Don't they claim to have controlled for that ?
