@richio76 might you know something about this? (Don't know where you are based or what field you practice in, sorry if I'm out of line tagging you into this one).That video got me thinking, do we have any grounds to make a citizens arrest on our PACE trial authors ?

A psychiatrist, Dr. Fink, writing in the Journal of ECT (June 2014) had this to say of patient complaints;

If the Taxpayers Alliance gave a shit about anyone apart from their wealthy donors perhaps. They'd use it as a reason to call for the abolition of the NHS.But I wonder if the participants whose condition was made worse have any recourse?

Some of those bad science people were an interesting education in how many 'skeptics' are really just looking for a form of authority to mindlessly trust. It's a bit worrying.
