    What a monumental prick. :mad:

    Any reason you can't publicly name him?

    Gutless scum.

    Hope the rest of medicine is starting to understand the cesspit that these arse clowns are dragging them into.

    Ah, okay. :thumbup:

    How times change. I got into trouble for suggesting that a quick google of psychiatrists in Glasgow would be revealing

    Maybe I'll get into even more trouble.

    Did you remember to invoke the almighty when you sinned? Always helps.

    I thought the names David, Wessely and Pelosi were deeply embedded in the brains of all ME sufferers. Perhaps it 's just me.

    May God forgive me for my part in ruining the lives of some of these vulnerable psychiatrists but this claim is not supported by the data.

    Shocking and thank you for posting it (hopefully one for @Jonathan Edwards notebook?).

    The message of it, as I read it:
    1. Nothing to address the actual paper.
    2. Irrelevant questioning of the three authors' diagnosis and motives.
    3. The reviewer having a need to proclaim why he/she is so great.

    I am sure he will let you off that one, its just all that other unbecoming online stuff that may add up against you.

    Hilarious, he is only challenging the uncontrolled bit. LOL

    Also he just switched from "read the paper", to "you should know better as you have read the paper".

    The man should be doing the Edinburgh festival as a comic.

    Yes - but was it controlled? The trial had 4 treatment arms to compare (as MS pointed out earlier to someone on Twitter, IIRC) and no 'do nothing' control group.

    Also, from the ABC interview soon after PACE was published:
    http://www.meassociation.org.uk/201...n-abc-national-radio-australia-18-april-2011/

    Also - the title of the trial doesn't say 'controlled':
    https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(11)60096-2/abstract

    Dare I say that maybe MS should read his paper - or at least the title of his paper?

    No. I think everyone except him knows that. Also they had mid trial literature claiming the favoured treatments had certain efficacy.

    What??? Surely that would introduce bias and invalidate much of the trial!
