This may have been posted elsewhere, I've lost track. It's guidelines for NHS doctors on dealing with patients with 'somatoform disorders', which I assume they think includes ME.
I had to read this several times and check the logo at the top of the page because I thought at first it was a spoof.
Apart from being full of spelling and grammatical errors, here are a few choice quotes:
''Evidence based treatment
The evidence for effective treatment of patients with chronic multiple symptoms are very sparse with less than 2 randomised controlled studied.''
''Attempt to be the patient’s only physician and to minimise patient’s contact with other healthcare professionals.''
''Understand worsening and new symptoms as an emotional communication rather than a manifestation of new disease''
''Group therapy: several uncontrolled have proved that group therapy has been beneficial.''
