Yes, it is important to consider their mindset. Psychiatrists consider the mind most important, that is to say the most important thing is to have the patient to say they are better (at least somewhat). It does not matter if the patient is still ill and that their thoughts saying they are...

Gather a lot more data about the practises, attitudes, knowledge and patient outcomes in standard practise (in a way that doesn't allow those physicians to report in a deceptive way). I'm proposing a lot more study of physicians themselves. Physicians should be experimented upon, not just patients.

Here is the "latest thought from Europe": https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213158219301482 The above review shows a striking lack of evidence of markers in the brain that are constant across functional disorders. I also think there is clear bias in the brain regions he has...

He uses those in the same way as SW: It's others describing such patients as those things, honest! I'm the one with the empathy for patients and telling patients their illness is real!

My sympathy disappears when I discovered that most GPs don't bother regularly reading any peer reviewed research at all. I have asked doctors in many different social contexts and they all give the same answer - only doctors who do research, subsequently read research regularly. These GPs...

Yes, but not enough on its own. If she then reported that she had to spend the rest of the week in bed, it wouldn't exactly be considered a success.

War, violence, poverty, illness. None of it is a problem if we choose not to care. ;)

It's not a waste of time, it does not detract from the other problems unless we let it distract us.

One topic that seems to be doing the rounds is the idea that because the symptoms are now potentially explained by CCI that people with this illness never had "real ME". I think this is a distortion of what most people were saying and it is damaging to perpetuate these accusations. Those...

Perhaps patient response inspired some extra peer review?

For balance (balancing out all the years of all-male panels), he should resign and adopt a 100% women panel policy in the NIH for a few years. ;)

The goal is to build research capacity - if they claim there is not enough applications to provide as much funding as the disease burden demands, they have to ask themselves why and address those concerns directly.

Remember wall street 101: Buy on rumor, sell on fact. 12% is a small move for a stock like this. Also, realise that their shares were worth at their peak, $32.25 last September..

The article is basically a narrative review of the various names and clinical definitions for CFS over the years. The article doesn't really delve into etiology nor treatment. Google Translate conclusion:

Surprising how different the results were across the other patients vs the one they cherry picked for this "case-study".

I don't think Vermeulen can publish the data on that slide, because it is just routine clinical data and was not collected as part of a study with ethics approval. There was another Vermeulen study that may be relevant to this discussion too...
