Personality and Perfectionism in CFS, 2008, Chalder & Deary

In the early days of psychology and "CFS" it was stated in different ways that patients were people who wanted to be perfectionist or something like that and when they couldn't manage they adopted "the sick role" rather than see themselves as just ordinary. I think it was Stephen Strauss who described them as B class women (most of his most outrageous statements dismissed women) with A class aspirations.

I've never heard of this man. He sounds like a mysogynist. Why do so many of them decide to go into medicine?

Is this him?

Stephen Strauss was the CDC guy who turned the world against us. He decided Tahoe was an epstein barr epidemic and when he found it wasn't he turned against the patients. He refused to admit it was ME and toured US hospitals talking about us in such a way that Yuppy flu was invented. The doctors from Tahoe complained to him that he had left a big ugly wound on a young woman's leg when he took a muscle biopsy and he sneered at them that he wasn't a plastic surgeon. The results of the biopsies were never published. I loathed everything I ever heard about him.
