Clare Gerada: influence on UK medical practice and ME/CFS management

[rvallee]

Yes, I broke my X boycott to read the responses and couldn’t resist chipping in with a reply to the RCGP.

It’s heartening in a way that she appears. to be so unpopular with doctors. I hope it may cause some of them to question whether ME/CFS patients’ concerns about her might be valid after all.

Probably not as long as Wessely remains popular. And even though he is hated by even more unrelated communities, he seems universally beloved by his peers. Somehow. I can't really figure out why, though, the man has no actual achievements other than being tasked by people to punch down and being happy with doing so.

He is extraordinarily gifted at getting his name of research papers, gaining power and status, and avoiding any accountability whatsoever for the mountain of human carnage left in the wake of his glorious career.

So there's that.

It will be interesting to see how many people will turn out to have always disagreed strongly with him, once he's no longer in a position to hear them saying so.
