I am ashamed that a researcher at a London medical school should behave in this way treating patients like laboratory rats in effect. The thread with the request from Hughes is totally disingenuous. The purpose of the study was clearly not what was advertised. This is a serious breach of trust on the part of a healthcare professional and I think a formal complaint would be justified.
How can these people be so stupid that they do not realise that patients are sometimes intelligent human beings who can see through the 'researchers' ' irrational beliefs. And if your theory is about damaging false beliefs it might be a good idea to remove the beam from your own eye....
If I was the Dean of King's I think I would consider this a disciplinary matter.
Who should make that complaint? Can any of us do so, or does it have to be someone who participated in the study complaining that they personally were misled. Is it enough to be one of the eligible population who were asked to participate?
Can you make a complaint, @Jonathan Edwards ?
