    Trial By Error: Professor Sharpe’s Retraction Requests

    Can we check the timeline on this? Also do we know if HRA sought comment from the PIs of PACE or the SMC etc, during their investigation, were such exchanges or meetings documented if they happened and minutes kept etc? Or did the SMC or the PIs of PACE initiate such an exchange during the...

    Twitter activity of Professor Blanchflower

    Was this before or after the banking crash that led to the austerity measures we now see in place causing people to have to rely on food banks to survive? I am always somewhat bemused when people think that economists have a proven track record in predicting anything in the economy yet less...

    Ethical classification of ME/CFS in the United Kingdom (2019) Diane O'Leary

    @Diane O'Leary I think I need to add some context here to the issue of how the UK medical system views the US one. Firstly we don't even have the same version of the WHO ICD. Having said that its ironic the the UK officially has recognised ME as a neurological disease since 1969 yet the US...

    'Consumer-Contested Evidence: Why the ME/CFS Exercise Dispute Matters So Much' PLOS Blog post by Hilda Bastian

    Indeed. I really wonder if she read the blog properly or has tweeted it out as a mistake. Groves is knee deep herself in the whole blind eye to PACE thing.

    Ethical classification of ME/CFS in the United Kingdom (2019) Diane O'Leary

    One of the main problems is the amount of faith that doctors outside of psychiatry and psychology place in the psycho social model. In my experience neurology for one has pretty much given up its own profession and has an unhealthy belief in psychiatry, partly caused I think by it being a...

    He would be perfect as the, press 1 for.... press two for.... 3 for...... robot that just keeps sending you round and round and then hangs up on you after saying, "I didn't get that press hash to hear your options again".

    NICE guideline review: A list of appointees to the ME/CFS Guideline Committee has now been published

    Can someone explain this please. Two people have been appointed to the NICE committee from which organisation or are they patients or individuals? Were they previously refused a place on the committee if so on what grounds? Are their appointments favourable for us or not?

    Ethical classification of ME/CFS in the United Kingdom (2019) Diane O'Leary

    So is Psych care not medical care when its is truly evidence based and it works? Pseudoscience occurs across all fields of medicine doesnt it? Granted psychiatry is particularly susceptible to it. When pseudoscience happens outside of psychiatry does it get a pass on the basis that its...

    Ethical classification of ME/CFS in the United Kingdom (2019) Diane O'Leary

    What happens when you don't want the right to the medical care on offer because its based on pseudoscience. Its somewhat irrelevant whether there's a consensus that you have a need for medical care. I am pretty sure I don't need advocates to fight for my right to pseudoscience. I'm confused...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: HRA Report Does Not Vindicate PACE

    So the PIs who signed this rebuttal are all either psychiatrists or psychologists but rest assured cos there was like loads of other people involved. 5 nurses who just do what they are told, 3 statisticians who helped to withold the data and failed to understand the significance of having a...
