I wonder if there will come a point where a formal apology will be issued about the way science and medicine has treated many people with ME/CFS and the sometimes needless suffering that the BPS model in particular, has had on many aspects including the doctor-patient relationship.

This happened several years ago, in Norway. It just hasn't happened in the UK and elsewhere.
