Unfortunately, I have zero confidence in this argument. It's a very rational argument that can be demonstrated using simple numbers, but it...
Same idea behind: this long-used PROM is bad, we need a different PROM. Rinse. Repeat. Decades pass, zero progress is made. It's amazing how they...
All models are wrong, but some are useful. Those particular ones aren't. And obviously so. Models of subjective experience built by people who...
A common complaint from MDs is that they can't tell the difference. Which is normal, without tests to validate, they usually can't tell the...
Hey hopefully some middle ground can be obtained where we can all agree that letting people die of starvation is not OK even if it's not...
Best I can tell almost none question any of this and think it's great and there should be more of it. Remember how many quotes and surveys and so...
What is it that makes people still hold on to this idea that there is some magical way to 'manage' this that will be effective but hasn't been...
Mentions in 2 places but largely ignores the giant ME/CFS elephant in the room. So still a very superficial effort that puts too much emphasis on...
Well, they didn't really identify anything useful, but it at least data showing that half recovered naturally without doing anything could spell...
This endless loop of identical useless trials doesn't even pass the plausibility test. It's not even plausible that this should work, it has no...
One thing I'll say about this disaster: if you're not outraged, you're not getting it. Although people have different of expressing outrage, this...
No, no social, no bio, only psycho. That's the biopsychosocial way, most letters are actually silent, need to be spoken with a dog whistle.
Worthless drivel. All these people show is that they understand nothing about illness, and that they lack the empathy and imagination to see how...
Only once he's retired. That's what power is all about. It will only make the fall harder, but progress in medicine happens at the pace of...
They're trying to use the excuse where a treatment that is found to be too effective to withhold from controls, even though it obviously did not...
That seems to be the fundamental problem with PROMs: they can't be calibrated. Instead they get 'validated' by some convoluted process involving...
This is probably a bit of an overestimate, but there definitely is an overrepresentation of physically active people. Makes all the nonsense about...
Misdiagnosing autism as CFS has that "finding an octopus inside a computer because someone misinterpreted the problem and this was judged to be...
Well this sure is some jumble of random questions and correlations that don't support a common meme, but as is tradition: [IMG] Their...
I think I got to the point where PROMs aren't just useless, they're actively harmful. Not inherently, rather it's because they are misused, but...
Separate names with a comma.
