If they are not up to it then they should hand the authority to somebody who will do their dirty work for them. I am available for the job, and I won't even charge them for it.

It remains unclear whether the patient’s functional symptoms were an early manifestation of sCJD or a cooccurring phenomenon. Functional symptoms have been found in the initial stages of many neurological disorders And this isn't a stark warning about the irrelevance of FND? What does it take...

The more wrong they are, the more certain they are that they are right. It is almost diagnostic of their profound psycho-moral pathology.

Lloyd is concerned only with protecting his lucrative psycho-behavioural based clinic, and extending its, um, client base to Long Covid patients. There really isn't much more to it than that. His 2020 claim about patient critics being akin to climate deniers has not aged well in light of...

Healthcare is witnessing a new disease with the emergence of Long Covid; :facepalm:
