I blame Anthony Clare. They thought psychiatry was all about becoming a media luvvie.

Perhaps she will view this as an opportunity to correct certain unfortunate impressions which have arisen after her last two presentations. One would expect that someone who might appear in court as an expert witness would wish to take the first opportunity of setting the record straight.

I take it that that is a compliment about their being so compliant with official policy.

I agree with all this, but was trying to get at a slightly different point. One would usually only consider whether "tormentors" should not be named for legal reasons if one has the names to disclose. Not having the names would be a greater bar to disclosure. The wording suggests that the...

It is possible to clarify completely the reference to the cutting off of balls which appears to amuse Crawley so. The article specifically refers to this in a paragraph about Wessely: "Wessely lists his tormentors, who cannot be named for legal reasons...... The person who telephoned him to...

Apologies for seeming to go on about this matter. But one keeps seeing more that helps the overall view. If one looks at the article in the Sunday Times, as well as the front page, which we knew about, there are an additional four uses of the apparently insane threatening letter style. 1...

Is that because of the trap?

That's unlikely but possible but it would not be relevant. She is claiming that the image in the Sunday Times represents a message that she had received at the time of publication.

It is fascinating to read the whole Sunday Times article. One could almost get the impression that things were becoming too quiet and it was necessary to whip up a controversy. One is certainly inclined to wonder about the mental health of the editorial staff at the Sunday Times who commissioned...

Doctors who feel with their mind and think with their soul Should really crawl back in their endarkenment hole. On why they have fingers The question still lingers As they search after some useful role.

EC seems to be becoming bolder in her assertions in relation to the image from the Sunday Times. This time she seems to say: "This is an e-mail I got a few years ago. It was used on the front cover of the Sunday Times to discuss the ((unclear, possibly) research of violence) in chronic fatigue...

@Cheshire @ukxmrv you are quite right. We need to amend the Science Library to make it clear that the picture relates to the 2013 Hanlon article and not the first article in the list, which is the Fielden article to which I was referring. I must have been half asleep this morning. Strange...

I only watched the first few minutes and decided that the language was all so vague, and showed such a clear lack of understanding of concepts, that it was unlikely to be worth spending time on. But I have never believed diet plays any significant part in my illness. I may, of course, be wrong.

Certainly not to be advised if going lobbying in Parliament.

One would expect that in any properly regulated profession it ought to be professional suicide to associate oneself with such articles in previously, but no longer, reputable newspapers. If Crawley takes advice she badly needs to change her advisors. Taking Murdoch's shilling.

It is interesting to study the whole page of the Sunday Times from which Crawley has used the image. At the bottom it clearly states "Doctors are facing death threats simply for suggesting ME, the chronic fatigue illness, is all in the mind." Let us put aside for the moment the question of...

Given that she must be aware of the furore which has arisen over her previous use of this imagine, the further use, without adequate explanation, must be viewed as deliberate provocation. It clearly plays to her own self-image. On another site I once posted a copy of a letter to a Journal from...

Does that mean that for any treatment offered by the GP, after being informed of the diagnosis, informed consent was not obtained?

As usual the questions tell you far more about whoever it was who designed the form than they are ever likely to tell you about the subject. How many possible meanings (or uses) could "usual" have? I would say "answers on a postcard, please" but it would take more than a postcard.

Will "What is Perrin's Point?" become as famous a medical question as "What's the bleeding time?"?
