No you cannot Diane, as members here have worked out for themselves. And anyway the 'professionals working with MUS' are pretty much by definition...
Dear Diane (@Diane O'Leary). I really think you need to take on board that this group of people here on S4ME are way ahead in terms of...
The hospital clinic paper seems to me to provide a reasonably plausible figure of 3%. But it still looks as if it was done by people with a bias...
I am going to ignore the primary care paper because no GP can be expected to explain a whole load of symptoms that a specialist may be very...
It really is quite worrying, however, that documents bandy about these figures, which are clearly intended to be 'facts' without any regard for...

It might be interesting to debate the evidence for this but I suspect it may not be quite as it seems. I have spent much of the last ten years...
We are in complete agreement about the issues you raise in this post - with the exception of some nuanced history of science that I will come to...
I would take as examples Margaret Mar's debate in the Lords. The emphasis was on the mental vs medical and not on quality of evidence. She got...
