srsly?
I'm currently reading (and re-reading, and re-reading again) the Ciba Foundation Symposium 173 discussions. My original aim was to try to find...
And this thread about an article by Sharpe:...
I thought this article might yield some usable quotes, but then, maybe not:...
No. Not all statisticians have a maths background. I didn't. And maybe that's why I feel utterly inadequate. But actually, you don't need a maths...
No. It's what others were saying: I'm definitely NOT an 'amazing genius' - I just refuse to accept that any area is closed off to me just...
The problem with this type of research is that those doing it are under the mistaken belief that because they are dealing with a "subjective"...

Further on in the discussion, it was noted that not all patients with 'chronic fatigue' had evidence of depression. So, Manu conceded that maybe...
One of the early chapters is by Peter Manu et al., who looked at clinical epidemiology and aetiological classification in CFS. His prospective...
There is something so desperately wrong with the way that this has been approached from the outset. This obsession with "models". It is bizarre...
At the end of the discussion after his paper on the "Clinical presentation of CFS", Komaroff concludes: "I could sum up by saying that I suppose...
To set things off, I found this section in the chapter by Norma Ware (Society, Mind and Body in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: An Anthropological View)...
I'm currently working my way through this tome, so thought I'd start a thread on it so that anyone else who has read it (and those who haven't)...
