    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    Some years ago I tried to find some light exercise videos on Youtube specifically for "elderly beginners" or "senior beginners". I wouldn't have described myself as elderly at the time but I was definitely a beginner. I came across a few videos described as being for beginners which were...

    Improving teaching about medically unexplained symptoms for newly qualified doctors in the UK - Yon et al 2017

    Got to get those baby doctors brainwashed at the earliest opportunity! After all, doctors need an officially approved way of hiding and disguising their lack of skill in diagnosing anything.

    Frequent urination

    Try including more salt in your diet. You won't hold on to fluids without it.

    Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) in the United Kingdom: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of 10‐years of practice‐based evidence

    From one of the quotes in post #14 : This author seems to be struggling to find the word "raising" i.e. These authors seems to be unaware of a raising of the methodological bar, for interventions to be regarded as ESTs.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    People can make similar comparisons about all sorts of things, for example, should we ban cars because accidents cause many deaths and serious injuries every year, or should we ban certain food items because they might increase ill health. I got the impression he was more-or-less saying that...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    An interesting video on Covid-19 in Spain. It was published today. In Spanish with English subtitles. I'm wondering if the video will stay up for very long.

    Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine as treatments for Covid-19

    Things get even more weird ... I haven't actually heard or read anywhere that taking HCQ is a preventative, but still... Banning it seems very strange. Edit : Typo

    Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine as treatments for Covid-19

    I still don't understand why using a well understood drug at four times the normal dose is acceptable.

    Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine as treatments for Covid-19

    But since Covid-19 is new, nobody would have known what dose was appropriate. Why did someone decide that in a testing phase of using any drug for a new disease it was appropriate to give people four times the dose that was known to be safe?

    Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine as treatments for Covid-19

    With regard to HCQ the thing that baffled me was that a drug which has been available since 1955, has been taken millions or billions of times, which was very helpful for various autoimmune diseases and sufferers took it for years, it's on the list of the WHO Essential Medicines, and suddenly...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I suspect unusual strains of disease can crop up at any time, even with common diseases. Back in the late 60s/early 70s my brother became seriously ill - very severe, widespread rash and high fever being the main symptoms that I can remember. He became so ill that he was admitted to hospital. I...

    New draft NICE guidelines for chronic pain emphasises exercise, CBT and acupuncture over medication

    There are so many ways that answers to that survey could be twisted to use against a patient. And I couldn't answer quite a few of them because the actual situation I'm in wasn't given as an option. I hope I'm never in a situation where I am forced to answer this questionnaire as a condition of...

    Functional cognitive disorder: dementia’s blind spot, 2020, Stone, Edwards et al

    So now people with Mild Cognitive Impairment or early dementia are going to be told that with CBT they can learn to remember things again, they can get back their word-finding ability, and will get back their logic and reasoning ability? And if it doesn't work the patient will be assumed to be...

    Evidence-Based Practice for the Clinical Assessment of Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures, 2020, Baslet et al

    I got caught in that scenario, multiple times. I had several laparoscopies in the 90s where laser was used to burn off the top of endometriosis lesions. Nowadays it is slowly starting to dawn on some doctors and surgeons that endometriosis lesions are like icebergs. Burning off the top doesn't...

    A Review and Expert Opinion on the Neuropsychiatric Assessment of Motor Functional Neurological Disorders, 2020, Perez, Stone, Hallett et al

    Just imagine what would have happened if they had done an MRI instead of an x-ray. How long did she have this metal surgical tool inside her chest? I hope she got lots and lots of money in compensation.
