You are quite right to pick up on the various dates that the outbreak was supposed to have started and I've hinted at that on the account. There will be more examples of this later.

It is abortive poliomyelitis.

I'm afraid I have no recollection of it at all although it may be somewhere in my archive - but I doubt it. Never really got involved in the politics of it.

"gentlemen's club". As I mentioned (I think elsewhere on S4ME) I attended every single APPG on ME between April 2006 and March 2010. I almost always attended the meetings with my RFH research colleague and often we would meet the head of RiME there. Whereas I never talked at any of these...

The setting up of 'Forward ME' was specifically designed to keep out patients/patient activists. I attended all of the APPGs at the HoC between April 2006 and March 2010 and the CoM disliked us being there. She even tried to get my friend and colleague arrested after one meeting.

I'll reply later more fully but there is a punchline here - when one of the hospitals that had started seeing me as a patient (there were a couple) told me to put in a request for a glucose monitor to the GP (this is just before I was put on insulin IIRC) refused my request. The hospital then...

What can I do? The patient is powerless. I think the (rather obvious) MUS categorisation in my case came from my medical files being *that* thick through 'CFS'. The diagnosis I'm sure is leading to patients having future problems being downplayed/dismissed. I'm, to say the least, very bitter...

I went to the GP presenting an increased amount of lassitude and a worsening of eyesight in late 2016. I was sent for blood tests. When the results came back I was told by this GP that everything was fine and that I should get 'a part time job' and that I've had 'extensive testing'. After seven...

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the post. If I can use precise quotes, on his website SW says: "Allegation: “Wessely threw a boy into a swimming pool to see whether he would sink or swim”" and then ends with "Needless to say, I have never thrown this child, or any other, into a swimming pool." Firstly, where has...

Margaret MacPherson? No, she was in her fifties and not a nurse.

Richmond also wrote the BMJ obit for McEvedy.

Richmond helped set up "Healthwatch". Dick Taverne is a patron of HW. DT is the chair of Sense About Science. SAS has links with the Living Marxism network. I know this is a little 'guilty by association' but I feel it's maybe relevant to point this out.

Something interesting coming up about that - but later on in the story.

I've posted an update on Twitter re your post.

Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure I have anything too much on Friendly as he wasn't intrinsically involved in the RFH or associated, FWIW. You're not wittering at all. I'm enjoying the posts.

Posted.

Just dug out an old article with a reply from (I suspect the same) Walshe. If you want I can post it on the RFH account.

How familiar are people with this paper? I've had one person on Twitter say they were not aware of it.

Well now.....!
