Stopped there.

Flattery will get you most everywhere. Please don't stop. :angel: I wasn't being too serious about it. Just reminding myself that one needs to walk a few miles in the other person's shoes to really understand why they make the choices they do.

They only concession I make to the psychs is that I cannot guarantee I would have behaved any better if I was in their position. I like to think I would have, but cannot be certain of that untested hypothetical.

If people are interested in the effect of 'lifestyle' on health outcomes, the first thing they might want to look at is poverty and the real reasons for it. The ones that have nothing to do with alleged psycho-moral deficits in the poor.

IIRC, he has also said (perhaps in the same interview) something to the effect that he didn't like dealing with the physical body.

Or a smellier one. :yuck:

Yep, the standard psycho-morality play drivel. Just one more step and she will be blaming people born with Downs Syndrome or spina bifida for their plight because of some crime they committed in a past life. :mad:

He would rather perpetuate this cruel farce, than simply admit he botched it big time. He regards his ego and the fairy tales in his head as...

Bristol Uni appear to have no idea what they are dealing with. Or if they do, they have no idea how to deal with it.

While there are Nobel prizes to be had, and fat incomes, there will be Heinrich Schöns in this world.

If you want a single example of just how wrong the standard management advice to patients can be, this is a hot contender for it. Being able to rest and nap as required is the one of the very few effective management tools available to patients. Indeed it is arguably the most important of all...

So now she is claiming patients are at threat of being attacked by her 'harassers'? And her evidence supporting that outrageous cowardly smear is...? *crickets*
