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?

"Recent developments in our understanding of functional neurology are translatable to other functional disorders and have laid the groundwork ..." Recent developments in our understanding of marketing functional neurology are translatable to other functional disorders and have laid the...

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

People feel good when they do things that make them feel good. Who knew? :facepalm:

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...

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.

#AllTrials(exceptPACEandotherBPStrials)

Not to mention misdiagnosed and mistreated disease.

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...

Is "sophisticated instruments" a euphemism? :whistle:

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.

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

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...

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.

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

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.

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:

They were researching career advancement.
