Well that's very tolerant of you, Sean. I'd like to add the following observation and then I'll shut up about ICD and coding: amongst some patients and some advocates a reverence towards the WHO and their classification experts has developed over the years which, in my experience, might be...

This elephant doesn't often forget but it's taken until this morning to remember where it might have been filed. In attachment and for the interest and personal use only of readers of this thread. Letter to Lancet, Nov 1993, AD and SW. CF, ME and ICD-10

At the risk of sounding like that boring person you get trapped with in the kitchen at parties.... The following was sent to an advocate in 2001, as part of a longer communication regarding the 2001 IoP fiasco over IoP's adaptation of the WHO's ICD-10 PHC guideline (1996) after IoP had...

And so the promotion of evaluation for surgery goes on... and promotion of Jeff's site and Jen's theories...

Didn't Jen Brea also give a presentation at Stanford a few weeks ago?

A tad under 1.5 pages, which include two photos - the largest of which is the usual - well dressed female, 30s, full make up, jewellery, head in manicured hands - the usual. The other is a photo of the author of the book.

Only just seen this in the Times2 print edition - arhhh! Also mentions Suzanne O'Sullivan's book as "the first person to write substantially on this subject..." Evidently journalist not familiar with Shorter et al. It's most of a two page spread on same page as the Dr Porter medical column.

She's also associated with the Poole based Emotional Processing group, a U of Bournemouth research unit and U of Southampton. http://emotionalprocessing.org/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/ and I believe her mother (or a close relative) was/is an OT at the Dorset "Wareham CFS Clinic" which was used...

Blimey, sounds like The Secret cult or Channelling Abraham.

No time to read this today and apologies if already posted in another thread: https://psyarxiv.com/bwa6m/ What is the Functional / Organic Distinction Actually Doing in Psychiatry and Neurology? Authors: Vaughan Bell, Sam Wilkinson, Monica Greco, Callum Hendrie, Ben Mills, Quinton Deeley...

Brilliant, Scott, thanks, and do keep me posted.

Note that in the proposal of 2016 submitted for ICD-10 by Ms Mabon, deletion of the Index term "Benign myalgic encephalomyelitis" had also been requested for consideration. However, it looks as though the URC rejected its removal as an Index Term, as the term does display in brown when searched...

For ICD-11, the electronic Coding Tool performs the role of the Alphabetical Index, as the starting point for coders. Just to demonstrate what displays when myalgic encephalomyelitis (ie minus "Benign") is entered into the Coding Tool: The terms under "Matching Terms" are listed in the...

Well, if WHO/MSAC/CSAC/Robert Jakob do accept my proposal for ICD-11 (which includes selected extracts from the joint proposal with Mary in March 2017) a couple of bunches of emoticon flowers and the chocolate cake will be graciously accepted.

England's NHS Digital currently mandates the use of ICD-10 5th Edition Version: 2016. (There are now PDF copies of the 2016 version's Volume 1, 2 and 3 available for free from the WHO's IRIS platform, as well as an ICD-10 Browser for Version: 2016 and now Version: 2019.) There is currently a...

Well thanks, @InfiniteRubix but as you may have seen in my update in Post #398 and in my revised recent submission to ICD-11 (Post #388), the origin of this submission for a change for the WHO's international version of ICD-10 is a person who currently works for Canadian Institute for Health...

What a mess. But well done Canadian Institute for Health and Ms Mabon. Now that the final release of ICD-10 (Version: 2019) has been published, Canadians won't need to wait for a successful change in ICD-11. It should be possible now for the Canadian Institute for Health or another agency or...

Update: I have now established the origin and date of submission for the proposal to retire the "Benign" prefix for ICD-10. Please see Post #398 in the main ICD-11 thread for the proposal history...

What time wasters they are. We had written a chunk of text in our March 2017 proposal rationale setting out why "Benign" should be removed. Then in March 2019, they rejected the entire multi-part proposal without providing any rationales for rejecting outright all of the proposals we had asked...
