Absolutely agree, this is a most weird and internally contradictory approach. A sort of BPS pastiche. Maybe rather than BPS it is BSP...
So this overview is from the editor-in-chief of the Royal College of Physicians educational journal aimed at trainees. God help us. A while back...
I sincerely hope so, it is largely disinformation. Which was a tantrum?
Looking at the blurb for the magazine is pretty dispiriting. It is indeed for children. The mission statement includes: peer-reviewed journal of...
Indeed: 'The first thing to learn in medicine is how to make things up without letting on - how to bullshit professionally.'
It is produced by the Royal College of Physicians and is clearly intended as curricular material for trainee physicians. Which makes it a...
It would be cheering if one could be sure it meant what it seemed to. Just as patients will tell therapists that their treatment is wonderful,...
In a sense I agree but in a sense I think that is wishful thinking. The politics of western democracies has recently been bedevilled by the fact...
Modelling has nothing to o with predicting Long Covid. You cannot predict the fuel consumption of a car that has not been invented yet. Some...
Another angle: I was really querying whether Monbiot was taking an easy way out dissing scientists and medics. Because the paper he writes for,...
I am a bit tired having driven to London to take up an offer of Pfizer vaccine first dose somehow wangled by a relative (also a doctor) under them...
Sorry but that is back to front. The existence of ME, under whatever name, has been public knowledge for a century or more. The public is...
I am not denying that there is a systemic problem that affects medical research, medical practice and policy. I am simply saying that it is naive...
Excellent
I see what you mean but isn't this expecting things back to front? It is a bit like expecting Esso and Shell not ensure they do not pollute the...
I have seen the El Pais story elsewhere. Vallance has certainly realised that the Israeli data cast significant doubt on any suggestion that a...
The public have mouthpieces - they are called members of parliament, whom they elect and whom they can lobby locally. My neighbourhood constantly...
I don't buy that. If the public and the government cared it would be transparently obvious to them that nothing useful was being achieved. Caring...
I would say so. Surely if no government has attempted to help patients they must not care. By definition if they cared they would have done...
I think the comment tells it all. What researcher would give up researching because the patients were angry? And if it was a psychiatrist that...
Separate names with a comma.
