    Rehabilitation in the wake of COVID-19 -- A phoenix from the ashes (2020) Phillips M, Turner-Stokes L, Wade D et al

    Love the absolutism in play here: "patients require access to", instead of 'patients may require access to'. Because apparently humans are so predictably incompetent they need retraining and reintegration after every experience of adversity. According to the people whose income depends on...

    And NICE want to form a close working partnership with this 'new improved' Cochrane?

    Finding your own way to manage patients with functional disorders, Emmanuel, 2021

    It has metastasized and is spreading quickly throughout medicine. This will not end well. :grumpy:

    Guardian article: "Scientists’ egos are key barrier to progress, says Covid vaccine pioneer"

    Similar story with the woman, Barbara McClintock, who discovered 'jumping genes'. And later won an unshared Nobel prize for it. If you are not making enemies, you are not making progress. (Doesn't mean making enemies means you are making progress, just that making progress will make enemies of...

    PRINCE Secondary: transdiagnostic CBT is not effective for persistent physical symptoms, 2021, Tack and Tuller

    When you are used to getting away with bullshit for decades, and profiting handsomely from it, it is not easy to stop doing it, and for some completely impossible.

    GAS (Goal Attainment Scaling in Rehabilitation), GAS-light, and gaslighting.

    Nor has much choice about, due to the demands of the disease. This whole 'negotiated agreed plan and goals' stuff is just a dangerous dishonest farce, with any failure to stick to the plan and meet those goals being blamed on patients not trying hard enough when it inevitably fails due to being...

    The Atlantic: Long Covid is everyone's problem, 2021, Ed Yong

    Follow the money. It will ultimately be the bean counters and actuaries who bring the axe down on the BPS lark. It just doesn't pay off.

    GAS (Goal Attainment Scaling in Rehabilitation), GAS-light, and gaslighting.

    That, particularly in the context of a poorly understood condition, is nucking futs. :grumpy:

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    Don't know if it has anything to do with COVID vaccination (with my second AZ being on the 10th August). But not long after I got a particularly nasty persistent flu, consisting of sore throat, vicious cough, gunked up lungs and sinuses, and some headaches, but not any temperature rise (been...

    Article: Will there ever be a test for chronic fatigue syndrome?

    THIS! I am fairly sure that almost every (non-random) finding so far is from the body having to deal with and adapt to the underlying primary pathology, not the primary pathology itself. Which is fine for clues, including for possible (non-curative) treatments. But they are not explanatory.

    United Kingdom: Bath paediatric CFS/Fatigue clinic - Esther Crawley; Phil Hammond

    The morphing of GET into pacing, and vice-versa, by the BPS club has been going on for some time.

    GAS (Goal Attainment Scaling in Rehabilitation), GAS-light, and gaslighting.

    Either these people are genuinely unaware of what they are doing, in which case they are grossly incompetent. Or they are just openly laughing in our faces, in which case they are psychopaths. Either way they should not be in these jobs.

    The Atlantic: Long Covid is everyone's problem, 2021, Ed Yong

    One of the greatest lost opportunities in modern medicine. We could have been 30, even 50 years ahead by now, on this issue. But we are not. That situation did not come about by accident. :grumpy::grumpy::grumpy:
