Possibly a number of people have written the column under the pseudonym over the years.

One might say it's also a cautionary tale of how GPs' training may not equip them with the critical thinking skills to distinguish scientific evidence from persuasive storytelling.

https://bjgplife.com/revisiting-my-book-review-from-18-months-ago-a-cautionary-tale/ Elke Hausmann looks back on her 2023 book review of 'The Way Out – The Revolutionary Scientifically Proven Approach to Heal Chronic Pain by Alan Gordon' in which she suggested that it would be helpful for...

It's only "raising a clash" between the two conditions if you start with the belief that the two are the same or essentially similar.

The 'Thematic Analysis' offers a series of quotes from patients describing how they had blamed themselves for being lazy or weak when they were fatigued, but once they learned about fatigue as a consequence of stroke or kidney disease, etc., they coped better with it. The researchers'...

Perfect example of how far detached from reality their whole approach is.

It's not clear at all. It isn't stated on the page where the list of trials is advertised. You have to click an 'i' in a circle and go through to a different page that gives the information - and how many people will want to do that or know that they need to? This is the same issue I had with...

Then they should make it clear in the part of the app which highlights and promotes these trials that "our small team" aren't endorsing these trials and that they may involve risk. So sick of people using automated technology as an excuse to avoid responsibility.

"You see, it's not that CBT isn't helpful, it's just that the poor dears don't realise they've been helped."
