Yes the MUS approach should be properly assessed for financial cost and what impact it has on patients physical and mental health.

My extremely simplistic take is MUS is mainly an issue around the ethos it promotes among GPs to avoid diagnosis of conditions and deal with symptoms only. As I was directly told by a young GP we don’t find it helpful to give that diagnosis- CFS - it’s best to treat the symptoms. In my opinion...

I’m confused are there two different versions of the same product or two different products?

Secondary gain my backside these people make me fume

Maybe Mike Godwin would reach out to him to let him know that U.K. BPS lot have history of trying to get their old mates to back them publicly on Twitter. And if he’s been put up to it basically DB is just being ‘mugged off’. It seems unlikely DB just triggered all this off his own bat but if...
