    Article: The rise and fall of the biopsychosocial model, 2009, Ghaemi

    This is a highly interesting article for me. It helped me a lot with understanding the BPS ideology better. This explained the chameleon-like behavior observed in BPS proponents:

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    My impression is a big part of doctors seem to think no patient has the right to file a complaint due to medical error, but that a doctor has every right to commit a medical error. But there are medical rules when to diagnose what. That limits the right - there are always limits to a right...

    I liked hatha yoga because we lay a lot on the mat. :D

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    At least ME/CFS is diagnosed in UK. In UK BPSers say it's a biological disease. There is political awareness, and there were some successful FOI tribunals. In that the UK is much better off than Germany, for example, and maybe than Austria and Switzerland. In Germany, ME is a "cultural...

    Thoughts on AMPS—psychosomatizing?

    Ugh. That one is also quite involved. A pal of Henningsen's.

    ME debate in Danish Parliament March 12 (2019)

    Can someone help me? Where do I find information about the motion, i.e. how it was brought on, and the background that led to it? I remember there was a letter - does somebody remember where it can be found? Do the German folk here know if such motions are part of the political picture? (What...

    Is it true that more than half of medical consultations are for MUS? A look at the evidence.

    Maybe because most people here haven't presented their findings on conferences and witnessed the shark tanks there? There are some "buzz words" with a certain meaning. Also, my experiences were questions weren't asked out of interest and the desire to understand, but to show how incompetent...

    Is it true that more than half of medical consultations are for MUS? A look at the evidence.

    That's what I've just wanted to write: That's how I understood it. On top of that, it's quite realistic the MUS numbers aren't correct - but it is assumed they are by some people, including institutional settings.

    Is it true that more than half of medical consultations are for MUS? A look at the evidence.

    I feel I have to say it, since it's claimed several times in this thread: No, I don't feel like that. Certainly, there are people that interact with me on eye-level, but there also people who don't. Just with regards to me, because I can't speak for others, I don't feel this is generally true.

    Journal of Medical Ethics - Blog: It’s Time to Pay Attention to “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” (2019) O'Leary

    Looking at the past and present, my impression is also that psychosomatism etc. may have its origin in Germany. At least, it's omnipresent in Germany today.

    Journal of Medical Ethics - Blog: It’s Time to Pay Attention to “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” (2019) O'Leary

    Your post reminded me that the UN regularly critisize Germany (and I think UK) for their practice of incapacitation and forced treatment. Other human rights institutes do as well (like the German Institute for Human Rights). UN views discrimination (this includes incapacitation) against sick...

    Journal of Medical Ethics - Blog: It’s Time to Pay Attention to “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” (2019) O'Leary

    I understood that's exactly the context she means. It's not about NICE or DEGAM or... - or UK or Germany or...It's about an unethical, nearly global behavior/discrimination against a certain group of people.
