It can at least be said for Sharpe that he appears to be a stage further advanced than the BMJ. He is apparently concerned with "truth" rather...
Apologies for these musings. Others probably pointed out the problems long ago. A problem seems to be that the term "evidence based medicine" is...
A difficulty seems to me to be that the word is used in completely different ways, sometimes within the space of a paragraph, without any thought...
Franky, I would doubt the drafting skills of anyone who says "Evidence based medicine is..."
You are not alone. You clearly missed the IBS...
It is fascinating to see from that letter to the Lancet that David and Wessely sent. Can anyone explain the objection to the term myalgic...

Some people are too interested in arbitrary classification, and insufficiently interested in symptoms and their effects. There is no dividing line...
No point complaining to the "Content Manager". Don't they have a "Discontent Manager"?
She is a professional person tendering advice. She should be aware of the possibility of exceptions and frame the advice accordingly.
Who makes up the names? After Windgassen, we get KLou. I think a study on nominative determinism is needed.

Separate names with a comma.
