WTH does substance abuse have to do with Long Covid? Those responses have nothing to do with the issue being discussed, this is agenda-pushing.
Evidence is irrelevant to evidence-based medicine:
This is where the whole "a functional overlay" is heading, this pseudoscience is creeping everywhere. It will ruin everything.Many of the complaints we see in primary care are of a functional nature primarily and there is often a large functional component to physical illness like COPD and asthma, heart disease and musculoskeletal pains.
Evidence is irrelevant to evidence-based medicine:
It is not effective. This is just pushing an agenda on the back of LC. And the issue is not with the terms. It never was with the terms. The issue is that this is pseudoscience and it's a failure. Greenhalgh is doing nothing but pushing her own agenda here. Gross.Greenhalgh said:Multidisciplinary rehabilitation is an effective approach even in so-called ‘functional’ or ‘medical unexplained’ conditions [4,5]. Using terms such as ‘psychological’ or ‘functional’ is unlikely to be helpful in engaging patients in treatment plans.
