    That it's part of the "themed edition" on managing functional disorders seems somewhat incongruous though.

    Incredible in that the medical profession usually takes extra good care of its own.

    Hopefully some of the ‘function specialists’ will read it and their bubble will be pierced

    i thought it was common practice in the medical system to question whether the previous doctor actually came to the right diagnosis ego is after all a very big problem .

    I don't think that can be relied on by anyone in the medical profession. I wonder if the fact that the sufferer in the following link and in the link in post #1 were both female has anything to do with it.

    Lisa Steen: The wilderness of the medically unexplained

    I think it probably depends on what labels and previous diagnoses are on the patient's notes.
