We recently discussed a paper on a forum thread about gastroparesis that suggested that the diagnosis is quite unreliable and makes no difference...
What are you hoping for @SteveFifield ? There isn't much physicians can offer. All the reasonably sensible ones who had ME/CFS practices I know...
From the Telegraph, Dr Warren seems to get it: "When asked, he said he did not know whether ME was a physical or psychological condition, but said...
To clarify, your experience would suggest that the argument about stomachs benefitting from being used is probably unfounded? @cassava7
I remember recently reading about a new fashion for 'gut-brain axis' medicine, which sounds like an empty slogan to me. I also remember reading a...
I have never heard of that in the context of people being fed IV on ITU for whatever reason. It sounds like hot air to me. Edit: Dr Roy seems to...
I don't know the details. The studies I am aware of were done probably in the 1950s or 1960s. I don't think we have any answers to these...
Health Rising has never been a very reliable source for science. I remember reading the Bell studies in the past and not being very convinced the...
I don't think there is well established evidence. There are some old volume studies but a lot of these studies have methodological problems. One...
Managing Covid-19 is a very different issue, chiefly involving acute respiratory failure.
Maybe 'is there any training?' Specialist training is training after passing the general College exams for entry into specialities. There is no...
The problem that we have had to face is that NICE have complex requirements for any guideline process such that even a modification seems to...
We do have conflicts to deal with but surely that example is entirely non sequitur? The doctor does not take the key from the sleeping guard and...
To me that sums it up. It was ultimately inappropriate because it did not appear to show integrity. Dr Weir's credibility was being undermined in...
Sadly, I don't see that happening or getting anywhere if tried. Again, I see an asymmetry in these proceedings, inevitably on the side of the...
I find this troubling, @Valerie Eliot Smith . The first thing that comes to mind is that this inquest is supposed to be a fact finding exercise,...
Dr Weir's 10-15 yrs may have been a rough indicator, not so far from 20, but I agree. I also think it is unhelpful to throw in speculation about...
This to me is the key point. It is what I tried to argue in my Qeios piece. Dr Weir actually has no evidence for cerebral hypoperfusion actually...
That would make sense but the fact is that I was told that for my wife to have ECT she would need to be sectioned, despite the fact that she was...
That would appear to be likely to be the most detailed RCP advice on the matter. It mentions the Mental Health Act a large number o times but...
Separate names with a comma.
