Why Bioethics Should Be Concerned With Medically Unexplained Symptoms. (2018) O'Leary

As I understand it, Dr O'Leary is a philosopher who specialises in medical ethics, and has taken a particular interest in how medical ethics applies in poorly understood and frequently misdiagnosed conditions that are swept up in the MUS/BDD etc classifications. So her focus is on writing papers about the ethics of such mis-classification from a philosopher/ethicist perspective.

Perhaps her misunderstandings about the complexities of WHO classifications demonstrates a lack of expertise in areas beyond her training, or a lack of attention to the detail of the sort that @Dx Revision Watch has developed through focusing on this area. In which case, it is concerning that Dr O'Leary is offering herself as the expert to advise Forward ME on this.

Last year, Dr O'Leary had submitted a proposal for the Deletion of BDD from the core ICD-11 edition.

This year:

Extracts from the first version of Dr O'Leary's April 3 "briefing paper" for Forward-ME:

"Criteria for BDD are not particularly problematic for ME patients. They are compatible with construing ME as a biological disease."

I am concerned with this contradiction: her paper, and then these statements. I don't think she doesn't know enough about the ICD process because she's involved.

philosophical reasoning has no place in medical/biological science .and all sophistry is designed to obfuscate with bull shit . what kind of people think it is exceptable to build careers out of harming so many sick and disabled people.

I agree. Initially I thought our problems with medical profession had a lot to do with lack of philosophical reasoning. I don't believe that anymore. Henrik Vogt (Phd in History and Philosophy of medicine..) helped me change my mind.
 
Hi all,
Adriane, the editor from #MEAction.

Would anyone be interested in writing a summary of this article for the general public?
 
Just thought I'd link to the Kanaan response to this for those interested in this paper, even thought I didn't think his response was interesting:

Neurologists, Psychiatrists, and the Angry Patients

Richard A. A. Kanaan

There was nothing in there I thought was worth quoting.

It looks like there were other responses to this article as well.
