The concept of evidence-laundering really needs to have a tough discussion within medicine. "Two wrongs don't make a right but 7 obviously do" is...
That could certainly explain some of White's friend's histrionics. It's a pretty big hole they have dug themselves into and there is no coming out...
And particularly breaking apart Brine's statement about patients having the right to refuse treatment. Apparently... they don't entirely. Not...
That's the point. They don't because any proper assessment would quickly show this is not relevant at all here. It is not a credible claim, hence...
Something I've been thinking for a while but this is declaration of mental incompetence by implication. ME patients are assumed to be mentally...
I think it's just busywork to keep the pretense that research is ongoing. With regular publication of this type of research it maintains the...
It's pretty much inevitable. It's just a question of when the levee breaks. It may be years away, but it will. Once it does there will be much...

I'm so sick of this argument. It's a thought-terminating cliché. There are hundreds of health problems for which there is no help, some with...
As well as the ones we got following the Cochrane report where "random" academics were seemingly shocked, *SHOCKED* I tell you, about unspecified...
I have seen far too often "waiting list" being cited as a passive form of treatment. I guess it's a thing, apparently one that makes no...
So it's been revealed that Blanchflower is a friend of Peter White (bravo to those who found it, I checked for associations myself but missed it...
Kind of telling that the purpose is policy development, rather than, you know, actually helping people, especially in the context of a review that...
