This is available on a free site online https://www.academia.edu/44181445/B...gotiate_liminality_during_consultations_final , but you have to give an email address or login with Google or Facebook, so to save people doing that I am uploading it here as an attachment.

 

For those people (like me) who don't know what liminality means :

Edit : I started reading the article, but even finding out what "liminal" means hasn't helped me to understand it.

 

Was this flagged in your watchlist for citing this paper?
Brown, B., Huszar, K., & Chapman, R. (2017). ‘Betwixt and between’; liminality in recovery stories from people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Sociology of health & illness, 39(5), 696-710.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28239872/

 

It came up in a basic Google Scholar alert I have for “ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”. I thought there was a chance it might say something of interest.

 

so patients are supposed to negotiate their diagnosis is that not the doctors job . do the test let the results tell you which infection you had although for cost reasons most just give you the diagnosis that is going around at the time you visit .
