There is zero chance this is true. This is exactly like Trump's "people are saying". They are putting their own words into people's mouths. The...
I'm not at all surprised by this. Bad guidelines that rely on loose criteria are bad for everyone. They create comparable numbers of false...
This sounds like the sort of things that should be brought up at the NICE committee. ME is found all over NHS literature as a mental health...
Especially given the premise that what they are testing is the "only treatment" (according to them anyway, it isn't but whatever that's what...
Still pretty relevant in a "don't bother testing patients" thread ;)
I said it before, but: Catch-22 disease is the best possible name, or at least a very apt nickname. No matter what you do, you're fucked. If you...
Legitimate concerns about PACE need to be raised but they will likely fall outside of the scope of a policy debate. It is also a huge can of worms...
Still pretty common, sadly. In kind of a similar confusion, the star goalie of my hockey team has been underperforming and some months ago media...

That is our only asset. We have no influence on the process. We can only make our objections on the facts known and as transparent as possible. It...
Woah, there. That's actual patient engagement. Heresy! Science should only exist in a vacuum, especially medical science, which should assume...
"Patients with chronic conditions associated with fatigue complaints". That's most chronic conditions. Fatigue is one of the 2 most common...
I, for one, suggest the far more useful diagnostic criterion of PBS: persistent bullshit syndrome. Or its cousin diagnosis of SAS: shifting...
That seems like something that should only be done within a legal framework by government funding. Then again, seeing how the UK handles...
Hey at least the psychosocial crowd can say that's not a problem with their work since every time it's been replicated it showed the same thing:...
Good breakdown. They do feel kind of different and I see a lot of myself in those 3 different paths. Vocabulary is such a big problem with this...
Separate names with a comma.
