Consider: if you are a sociologist or data technician curious about the flow of industry information to healthcare professionals and/or how dissemination of this sort (follows) influences diagnoses of ME/CFS, please contact me.
ABSTRACT
"This paper argues that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) constitutes a biopolitical problem, a scientific object which needs to be studied, classified and regulated ... CFS/ME is an illness trapped between medicine and psychology, an illness that is open to debate and therefore difficult to manage and standardise. The paper delineates different interventions by medicine, science, the state and the patients themselves and concludes that CFS/ME remains elusive, only partially standardised, in an on-going battle between all the different actors that want to define it for their own situated interests."
