Trial By Error: Mayo Clinic Treatment Plan Cites “Deconditioning,” “Perfectionism,” and CBT

Any guesses as to how much the insurance company would be billed for those consultations and ensuing treatment?

 

Ultimately, I suspect Mayo will benefit from him attending their pain rehabilitation program...

...to the tune of the $30,000 odd they will charge him for this charade. What a scam.

 

It is amazing, the impact that a few junior UK psychiatrists, and their ancillary assistants, have had on the medical world. Who would have thought it possible?

...well...not me, obviously.

 

That Assessment/Plan - what a complete load of 'bullocks'!

Interesting how pain therapy is being recommended, and ties in 100% with their flawed assumption that the fatigue sensations are purely illusory, and can be air-brushed away with a touch of CBT etc.

This ... well ... it's just astonishing. They should end up in court for spouting such unevidenced (including presumed evidence based on low quality research) rubbish.

 

Gee, ya think?

 

Sounds sketchy.

YIKES.

Seems like they are pushing, and likely charging, for as many "programs" as possible.

 

So why aren't doctors dropping like flies from CSS?

I thought I had remembered some patient organization, perhaps ME Action, boast about the Mayo Clinic’s interest in updating its knowledge of ME. Apparently, there would be some partnership with ME Action in facilitating this. If that relationship still exists, this publication might be worth discussing

 

yes;
"#MEAction has partnered with the Mayo Clinic to discuss treatment, research, and improved community engagement for people with ME"

Taps roof of physician

You can fit so many beliefs about illness in that thing.

The "dear diary" framing is so off-putting and insincere. It's a narrative model alright, but without fail it's the physician's narrative, never the patient's.

 

When I was at Mayo in 2015, they gave me a packet explaining how I need to hydrate and exercise for pots and cfs. The gastro doctor I saw there said I had crps but ran no tests.

Nothing else in my life was as big of a waste of time as Mayo Clinic.

 

From Living Proof UK on Twitter (“recoveree-led non-profit social entreprise promoting mindbody recovery from chronic pain & illness”):

“Have just heard that the Mayo Clinic is advising patients that brain retraining is the only way to fully recover from Long Covid and that all patients who have recovered have this in common. Maybe the tide is turning!!! Go Mayo ”

Just wanted to boost (I know from PR) this recent review of Dr. Stephanie Grach at MC.
