Easily thousands. Those systems are the way they are because more people prefer to stick to what doesn't work, mainly because their current status fits better in a system that doesn't work than in one that does. It's roughly the same change in attitude that sees an entrepreneur start a company...

Typical feeding the output as the input. One direction of causality is obvious, based on common sense alone, far more plausible and likely, while the other is obviously back-asswards, and of course it's the back-asswards one that is evermore asserted, not just based on no supporting evidence at...

Evidence so far suggests it does not at all. The lie is simply kept alive because it has been asserted for so long, medicine lacks the tools to assess it reliably, and it's too convenient in order to suppress the whole issue. In the early days of the ideology, it was simply asserted, as it...

I would prefer a drill sergeant doctor who barks and even farts profusely but actually delivers competent care over someone feigning empathy but is unable to do anything useful. Not generally, 100% of the time. For most health problems, actually. Of course when there is no competent care the...

Given how much incompetence, bias and corruption it will expose, if anything it will show the necessity of moving away from human gatekeepers, with all their biases, friends in high places and how cheap humans are to buy. We've even seen in recent years how even the flagships of medical...

And they call this "evidence-based medicine". :facepalm: When you don't even bother knowing what you are babbling about. Good grief. This is essentially the same ideas as homeopathy. This is exactly as useful as ranking which of the other alternative medicines is "most effective". As long as...

And when they are actually acknowledged, the support is always minimal and, just like here, focused on 'resilience' and 'bravery', and so on. Social needs can't be realistically supported at the best of times, and emotional support is absolute garbage because they take too much effort. Only some...

"All articles are reviewed for accuracy by our Medical Advisory Board" This is not an AI problem, it's a human problem. Any AI trained with false information will be misinformed, but here it looks more like a curated selection so that this isn't really an AI, it's more like a chatbot responding...

They are true in general, but what both RFK Jr and psychobehavioral ideologues claim is that those are ways to cure illnesses. They overlap most strongly on the idea that illness is more of a state of mind. Different illnesses, is the main difference. People like RFK Jr have a much more...

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

Specialist care also keeps the problem out of sight, and out of mind. Let's say a health care system opens up a few specialist centres that are not disastrous. Best case they would be able to see, let's say, 1-2% of the patients within that system. To GPs, the answer is simple once they suspect...

Again, they just keep babbling nonsensically. I can't even make sense of what it is they're trying to argue other than arguing about the eternal potential of the biopsychosocial model to be effective. It is a concrete possibility that this could be effective, as in it's not entirely impossible...

The trial was not clinically significant.

The trial discussed in this gibberish is: Effectiveness of a symptom-clinic intervention delivered by general practitioners with an extended role for people with multiple and persistent physical symptoms in England: the Multiple Symptoms Study 3 pragmatic, multicentre, parallel-group...

A (sort of) philosophical paper was published about this study. It says, uh, things, mostly gibberish. They present this copy-paste program, yet another copy-paste biopsychosocial program, despite the trial not being clinically significant and being excessively biased. Awakening the sense of...

There is no basis to the idea that they are disproportionate, it's an entirely arbitrary attribution that explicitly assumes that symptoms have to directly relate to tissue damage that can be objectively observed with current widely-deployed technology, which they don't. Medicine is very far...

Ask overlapping questions, get useless answers. If anything, this supports the obvious fact that those questionnaires don't assess what they claim to assess, and rather are generic questions about overall ability to function and common symptoms that basically give a huge number of false...

Someone provided instructions on how to access some of the modules: https://mehub.uk/medical-training/.

That's some catch, that Catch-22. Also, not quite coincidentally, a common feature of an authoritarian judicial system built around cruel and unusual punishment: can't prove your innocence? ooh you can bet that means guilty; off to the work camps with you, some good hard labor will set you free.
