then this page about him is very deceptive. It says: "Professor, Anaesthesia"

good catch, right. I know he's not a doctor but his doctorate is, I assume, in anaesthesia. So he's a professor of anaesthesia rather than anaesthesiology.

Unrelated to ME/CFS, the two biggest treatment trials for FND have both had null results for their primary outcomes. In the CODES trial for functional seizures, the non-intervention group had a greater seizure reduction (non-statistically significant, however) than the intervention group. In...

Yes, that's what I'd like to know. What is the professional group or audience involved here? I've written a lot of posts about problems with FND prevalence, rule-in signs, etc.

I assume they didn't read it fully but posted it because the data are interesting, and they didn't notice that it was really an editorial cosplaying as research or at least piggy-backing heavily on research. I made the same mistake when I first read it or saw a release or scanned the data part...

Thanks!

Ha! No disrespect intended!!!! Merely an observation!! :)

If that's the case, then Jo and Michael Sharpe have something in common. I was astonished once to see a comment from Sharpe fact-checking another commenter on a post. It was the first time I realized he was actually reading what I wrote.

Wait--you mean it doesn't???

she did? was that one of her detective novels, I think?

And thanks to @Jonathan Edwards for his robust defense in response to comment! Jo, I think this is your first comment on VB??

yes, that's what they're referring to--those who "de-transition" from being trans back to their original gender. The analogy makes sense to me. In the trans debate, many trans folks reject the accounts of "de-transitioners"--either saying there are only a handful, they weren't really trans, or...

Hi, just wondering what this is referring to???

oops! Will correct!! Added: Done!!
