Although this doesnt specifically say it's about ME/CFS, it's about MUS, & I've seen this woman (the doctor) on a video about CFS before, & recognise her name - Helen something... i cant remember where it was but i'm sure one of you will recognise her.
The most stand out thing i found when watching it was how spectacularly patronising it is with the singing at the end. ugh.
I suppose it's supposed to show them larking about having fun like children, but for me it just comes over as false, play acting & patronising.
'Coming to an MUS clinic near you' very soon.
The other thing i thought when watching was that I was amazed that no one had dx that girl's panic attacks sooner! I mean honestly, how does someone not recognise their own anxiety. It makes us all look so thick!
N.B. Before anyone points out that this has nothing to do with ME/CFS, .... I know it shouldn't have anything to do with it, but anyone who's been following the progress of UK BPS agenda will know that they are trying to make it very much to do with us.
Edited to add - Just to be clear - I am not in any way attacking Prof Helen Payne personally, I do not know her & therefore cannot comment. It is her attitude and approach that i find so objectionable.'
