am just heading to the loo.............these videos can cause nausea and other symptoms
I'm working on something at the moment, and can remember, way back, reading something here in the UK, possibly on an old NICE page, or possibly on an old advice sheet to GPs not to carry out too many tests on patients with ME because it enhances their false illness beliefs. Any ideas?
Yes, it involved "Mrs Wessely".Maybe it was just a bad dream I had, but wasn't there a video series telling doctors how to deal with these awful patients who insist on being ill without approval?
Yes, I had something more authoritative in mind: researchers and medical writers spouted off all sorts of vitriol in the 90s: I'm reading some pretty foul stuff!Are you looking for an authoritative/official document endorsed by the NHS, etc to some extent, versus researchers spouting off in their publications?
To be honest, when I look at Wessely's statements over the years, they remind me of reading slippery politicians' statements. At the time you are sure that something clear is being said, but looking over it afterwards you become aware of all the let-out clauses. With him, I think it is more relevant to judge his position by looking at the consistent attitude of his followers.To be fair, Wessely is considering both sides of the case.
