On the basis that most big organisations are run from the bottom up, might it not be that they are just doing what they have always done, nobody has told them to do any different, and management has not a clue about what they are up to?

Here is something I bet you didn't know. Well, I didn't. "A chalder is an ancient Scottish dry measure...." What more can I say.

Perhaps someone should ask what star sign is considered propitious for treatment.

I do not believe there is the vocabulary to differentiate, and, if there is, 99% of sufferers are unfamiliar with it.

@MEMarge In such cases have the families asked for a letter from the SS (sic) with evidence as to the efficacy of the proposed procedure, and full disclosure of any adverse events of (anonymised) patients under the care of the proposed clinic. One cannot help thinking that it might be worth...

On reading this I was reminded of the saying, in musical interpretation, that the notes are not the music We face the same problem, the words are not the symptoms.

Should not the Nice be capitalised?

I shall watch this thread with interest. Thirty years ago good, experience, consultants considered that some of my symptoms, upon exhaustion, were similar to Parkinsonism-but without any particular tremor. It was the stooped, slow, shuffling gait together with a rigidity. The symptoms were, and...

I suspect that we are here getting to the nub of a part of the problem. There is a variety of types of fatigue expressed in different ways, over different time scales. Some people may suffer two or more types of "fatigue", all of which may be different to what others suffer. If people, who...
