Let's hope that doesn't turn out to be Walitt leading a bunch of quacks.
I agree. I was talking about least worst options not ideal options. The ideal, as far as I'm concerned, would have been to do a proper update...
I agree, which is why I have come round to the idea that the only way forward now is to get Cochrane to see sense, withdraw the bogus 2024...
It goes back much further than PACE. BPS supporters have been in key positions at Cochrane from the start, as I understand it. And they determined...
Maybe one day if you feel like it you could start a thread here to describe your experiences as a warning to others, or write an article and see...

Thank you, Jonathan Edwards, your rapid response is excellent. I bet Cochrane will ignore it. I hope others put additional pressure on them to...
There is also the complication in interpreting data from an app like visible because pwME fill in their daily symptoms and severity, without...
Have you been able to identify where the pressure was coming from? Was it just Larun and her boss at that stage, or had the Wessely, White,...
I can see usefulness for severity scales as a quick way of conveying to a clinician how disabled you are, and as a way of tracking major changes...
My point was more that by only raising Hilda's tragedy as a reason for delay, without mentioning that it in fact didn't delay the project and it...
