    Medicine doesn’t take kindly to scientific oversight like eg the me/cfs nice guidelines analysis of their methods but heck it needs it.

    and it needs to be kept separate in recruiting and career pathways so those oversighting don’t have to play nice because those people might be on an interview panel fir their next job

    Increased professionalism and taking away the power from the wrong places so we’ve actually got some innovation that isn’t conflicted (by this short term political cycle it’s packet stuff) is needed. But even those seem to get infiltrated.

    I’d start with kicking out or back to doing wards only and having proper management of those who churn out manifestos rather than proper research with proper methods. If you aren’t up to understanding enough methods in your own papers then of course you aren’t unbiased in your consideration of the literature based on methods vs your own ideologies. We can’t have wards full of unmanaged people just using their power and independence to force tgat on the social order by who gets a life or not
