The Monster Disease Medical Schools Don’t Mention

Nice article by Llwellyn King calling on medical schools to teach their students about ME/CFS. As usual, King conveys the severity of the disease.

This article is showing up on other news sites as well.

Yet a cure still eludes, as does any large understanding of ME among doctors and researchers in related fields. The first struggle for the afflicted is to find a doctor who knows what it is and can render a diagnosis. Many visit a dozen or more doctors before they find one who might know the cause of their suffering. There’s no biological marker.

Medical schools don’t include ME in their curricula: not even one lecture in most.
