Anybody still doubt the profoundly pathological influence of PACE on the whole medical system in the UK?
I wonder if she will mention that in a high-level formal legal hearing she was completely unable to provide any evidence for her claim of...
Rip the covers off the whole process. Anonymous review is just too easy to game, too easy to hide behind. I know there are some legitimate...
At 1-2 hours long, 33 sessions is a hell of a burden all on its own, before we look at anything else.
Almost certainly the case, I think. Seems impossible for one person, whether patient, clinician, researcher, or carer, to take it all in. Would...

It's a demarcation dispute. The PACE and BPS crowd are the only ones allowed to campaign, according to the PACE and BPS crowd.
Yeah, I was wondering that too.
Wow. A leading entry in the How many wrongs can be packed into a single abstract competition. CFS = fatigue maladaptive thoughts assumed proven...
Probably true for a whole range of fairly straightforward, if mostly non-routine, testing. Just hasn't been done, or the rare papers that do look...
Their next move will be to say: Well maybe she didn't have a psych illness, but after the appalling way she has been treated (by unnamed 3rd...
