General practitioners' perceptions of chronic fatigue syndrome and beliefs about its management, compared with irritable bowel syndrome: qualitative study
Well thank you very much Barrington Johnson for providing us all with
a prime example of what the authors of the said report discovered and
reprted on! You obviously have NO knowledge whatsoever about ME or else
you would not have spouted such ill informed twaddle. Frankly you give
your profession a terrible name and reputation. Is it any wonder that you
and your like get attacked by patients? I think not.
What you have written is disgraceful and totally unfair and without a
shred of evidence. I would suggest that it is people like you who stand to
gain most from pushing the psyche agenda for ME. I can tell you that I
have gained exactly NOTHING from having ME for over 22 years. I have lost
hundreds of thousands of pounds in potential earnings and all the items
etc that such money brings, such as a house, nice cars, holidays, etc etc.
I have missed out on relationships, marriage, the opportunity to have
children and so and so on.
What you espouse is totally ludicrous and I would suggest that it is
people like you that are deluded and in need of psychological help. You
seem to be very sure that you are right? So please in future could we have
a little more sympathy and less vindictiveness towards patients with ME.
Maybe your experiences with ME patients are the result of your own
attitudes and handling of them. I know I've met many doctors like you and
when you are a victim of injustice, rudeness, and sheer downright
unfairness, you do tend to want to fight back. Please think about it
"Barrington", or whatever your name is?
Yours fed up with arrogant, rude, disbelieving, prejudiced and closed
minded doctors,
