Yup. The latest reply was just silly anyway, it added nothing at all. Just to get the last word, because they treat this as a debate and debates are for entertainment so they scream loud enough to feel smug about having shouted the most. It's easy to understand stuff like Enron or how the...

Oh wow. The big guns are coming out, folks. We, OK some in the UK, depending on territory and other arbitrary factors, may, just may, soon, OK soon-ish, get some "specific management attention", and maybe some more MBA management buzzwords, too. You know how long we've been begging for attention...

I feel like it should be pointed out that the RECOVER initiative has hired at some point a communications director, which may or may not be the case. There is someone in charge of communicating what this giant secretive project is doing. Seriously. I guess it's only for communications within...

Rorschach patterns but it's for the doctors. Basically.

Odds are very good that this is the "pattern". Learning only works when you have quick and accurate feedback about how close you are to the real answer. If no one knows the clear answer learning on the job does not work because the process of learning is not operational. This is why and how...

It's free. People rarely refuse free stuff. It has to be extremely bad for people to be offered free stuff and think it's not even worth their time. You can see this everywhere, offer free stuff to people and even if it's useless they'll take it anyway. Likely to throw it away soon enough but...

I remember ozone therapy being popular in wellness stuff for decades. A "case study" of 200 patients with no controls is not serious. Even a properly controlled double-blinded trial is basically the most unreliable form of evidence used by any profession, literally no other expert profession...

It's really wild that news that not only plastic nanoparticles but all sorts of industrial chemicals have been found in every human tissue, including placental tissue, and barely anyone knows about it. And yet environmental causes of illness and disease are basically treated as a joke, the...

Looks very loose, but is somewhat consistent with reality. The concern here would be if such a formula became popular that it would be mindlessly applied, like the "have you recently traveled to China?" stuff that continued for waaaay too long. Several of the numbers used are subjective ratings...

This is basically the new "chemical imbalance". Bank it. Actually I'm pretty sure the same nonsense in depression, also highly heterogeneous, will be used for a while and all the vague definitions blurred into a giant blurry mass, depending on how psychiatry will secretly hold on to it or not...

Aside from how his argument of 25 years of experience in clinical evidence absolutely beclowns not just the medical profession but the clinical evidence specialties, it's something that the ridiculous argument of Tuller being crowdfunded years after he began is supposed to be the reason for his...

Those disasters did not go on for decades at the rabid insistence of everyone involved long after it was obvious, though. That's the difference, most such disasters are unfortunate events that usually end up in hard lessons learned. This is the one same mistake going back well over a century...

Junk pseudoscience. As always.

I take it to mean that a simple microscope is all it takes, no need for fancy expensive equipment like imaging machines or electron microscopes that have months of queued work everyone is fighting for. Can't say for the rest but that statement is clear to me. Any solution that requires...

Especially when you are not accumulating data. Even more so when refusing to accumulate any data is excused by having refused to accumulate any data for decades. As a choice. It's absurd how there's just no accountability. Someone can be prosecuted for criminal negligence for leaving the access...

Damn. So many physicians whining about how patients never talk about psychosocial stuff. All of which means is that the patients are not comfortable doing so with them, knowing it will harm them. They are the problem, but can't see it precisely because being the problem makes them unable to see...

Today, and fitting with a recent uptick, I am seeing a disturbing number of government officials, ministers, school boards and other public organizations explicitly talking about the "overwhelming" evidence that wearing masks, which ended a full year ago in most places and was far more limited...

Yeah, frankly it looks like the next few months could be especially ugly and disrespectful. The only effect it seemed to have had is to get a more aggressive counter-reaction. There's just too much at stake, too many careers, billions wasted and millions of lives ruined. Admitting this is...

Neurologists studying the neurological consequences of COVID don't appear personally concerned about those consequences. I wonder how much the belief that it happens to "others", you know, weak people, "catastrophizers", plays into this. (Nothing special, just a photo of a conference with no...

If only past and current RACGP had not opted at every opportunity to deny and dismiss the issue of chronic illness and do absolutely nothing good about it, maybe current and future RACGP would have more than all this talk with definitely no walk. Because the main obstacle to the RACGP doing...
