It is interesting to see the use of "therapeutic nihilism" as though it is some new idea. It seemed to be a mainstay of early Wessely. It was...
What a strange title. Would that be the generation of 1955?
That takes a very special sort of stupidity.
I do not despair as much as some. I think something useful might be shown by the process. If you get to choose the judge, the jury and the...
It will be that distinction between "disease" and "illness" again. They will recognise the disease, but may not recognise all the illness which...
Perhaps having someone who has recovered fulfills all the requirements of evidence based medicine. There need be no question as to what the...
Well, we might not...
It would be interesting to know where the initiative for this move came from. Was it Hilda, or is it something imposed upon her? Sometimes those...
Are we to assume that Leda and the swan is symbolic of more than just reframing?
I think that we must, at least, recognise the possibility that those who resigned may have found themselves in an impossible bind. How do you put...

You may well be right, but the article states 5 lay members plus a co-opted member of the MEA. We know how scrupulous the BMJ is on matters of fact.
First we had, supposedly, science based medicine. Then we had evidence based medicine. Now we have individualised medicine. Could it be diluted...
It is interesting that the article stresses the number of patient reps, 5, on the committee of 21. Now that 4 have resigned or stood down that...
It seems eerily reminiscent of a previous incident. Was it the 1996 report, when it seemed that progress was about to be made but all the psychs...
Presumably Vienna is merely traditional, but there must be a lot of SigInt and NSA people in the UK around various locations. The only surprise is...
I'm not sure I agree. Even if there were time for an appeal, the decision should be allowed to stand. When the final guidelines are published we...
Why do they need a specific Act to deal with these cases? These are cases of people who became ill whilst employed abroad. The eatiology of the...
Apologies for keeping on with my random thoughts, but will the removal of CS from the committee mean that he does not get sight of the final...
Separate names with a comma.
