What did you mean by (see p245 of Beyond ME/CFS?) Sorry I am slow sometimes
.
Don't worry, you're not all that slow, that's a lot of info packed into a short reference.
This is a reference to the full IOM Report, a shortened version of the title. The full, official title is "Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness"
On page 245 of this report there's a suggestion to appoint a SEID czar:
Designation of an HHS Point Person
HHS should consider appointing an individual to oversee the dissemination
of the new diagnostic criteria nationwide to health care professionals
(i.e., a “SEID czar” within the department). This person should have access
to the necessary resources and the authority to implement the dissemination
plans for the new criteria and address any questions or concerns that
arise. Having such an individual in place will also help demonstrate HHS’s
responsiveness to this issue.
I do think it's funny that folks would still call any official a "czar."
So, would a woman in this position be a czarina?
I've been online too long --- I'm getting a bit silly!
Edit -- I was so long editing this that
