You can read here part of the pages dedicated to the PACE trial (from p132 to 140, p 138 is missing)...

Stop making these simplistic assumptions then. Can't you see you're hurting people while implying depression is just about thinking too much about your problem, hence it's all due to the sufferer's own weakness? Depression is a complex and life destroying condition, you're making a joke of all...

Similar line to Sharpe's "undeserving sicks"

Are there desagreements or ambiguity about the diagnosis of RA? (genuine question)
