Yep. Just like the fellas on the building site down the road can be hungry enough to mug somebody for a bacon butty one day, but you couldn't pay...
Perhaps one of the results of Maeve's inquest will be that someone feels strongly enough that they should start looking at what to do in cases...
I don't think it sounds at all like Wallitt. People with some ion channel disorders have exactly that, and it varies from complete flaccid...
It might not be arguable from a medical standpoint, but by the time Maeve was nearing the end of her life, she could almost be compared with...
It doesn't sound from this as if they can't (it seems to be the audio recording of proceedings that are protected), but that doesn't mean...
One of them is clearly that you can be deprived of your liberty as well as your autonomy if you give the wrong answers. We probably need to start...
I agree, it has the potential to be a serious form of abuse. For a start, capacity isn't a fixed thing. People may have it some of the time but...
But but but we need to be seen to be doing something, otherwise there's no point to us!
I used 'retch' because it's the only way I can think of to describe it, but it's a single muscle contraction. It can be strong enough that I look...

I can see why clinicians would find it useful to have a group term for these symptoms. It's harder to understand why they can't call them...
This is what I was try to say the other day on (I think) a different thread. You don't need a medical qualification to know that a combination of...
City status used to be designated by royal charter, although anywhere with a cathedral was automatically a city. Some modern English cities are...
I've had internal tremors when really unwell, even though I wasn't on any medication. I can't remember now where I saw it, but about 30 years ago...
I couldn't think of anything constructive, so I asked AI to design a mute button for him. [ATTACH]
Interesting question. I'm only moderately affected, but I still can't plan anything in the 90 or so minutes after a meal because my muscles feel...
Thanks for writing the letter, @V.R.T., it's looking great. Couple of minor suggestions: Furthermore, Miller claims that patients with illness...
I wonder if this could be added to the original thread, in case severely ill members who've experienced this aren't able to cope with following...
Separate names with a comma.
