1/ Of all the things we have produced what people find hardest to understand are the ones dealing with medico-legal and compliance issues. This is because people are not used to the language.

2/ However doctors & orgs do interact with the law. Doctors receive lectures dealing with those aspects that are relevant to them. This includes topics such as consent, assault, euthanasia, medical negligence, indemnity, medical records, data protection, the list goes on.
3/ We also discuss ethics, the role of religious beliefs, end of life care, clinical guidelines, communications (inc social media), diagnostic coding, whistle blowing, etc – which maybe isn’t primarily about law but refers to it where relevant and the law still applies.

Just the title of this article says it all really

Making it all about Dr Fitzpatrick and detracting from the real issue whilst affecting opinion with sensational wording

>“250,000 people in Britain are estimated to have chronic fatigue”

That is for the SYNDROME (has hallmark symptom of PEM)

The SYMPTOM chronic fatigue (accompanying many illnesses) is different

“chronic fatigue, characterised by extreme tiredness and generally feeling unwell”

Gross understatement for cfSYNDROME

This chronic, fluctuating neurological condition affects many body systems

The Lion & The Donkey (fable) is a good lesson in general though it does not translate to issues where donkeys are in power, in which case it’s dangerous to ignore them 1

In the NICE debacle:

Lion = NICE

Donkey = opposition to new guidelines (small but powerful groups)

Tiger = supporters of new guidelines

Grass = GET: Green = harmful, blue = helpful

In the NICE debacle donkeys have had influence over the media and therefore the public for years:

“Health and well-being are a top priority for us”

Will you keep this promise to your staff when you’re failing patients?

2007 guidelines STILL recommend GET

New guidelines inexplicably paused

“we understand the importance of creating a respectful, supportive, and transparent environment for all our employees.”

It’s curious you don’t understand the same for the ME/CFS community.

“Health and well-being are a top priority for us because we understand the importance of creating a respectful, supportive, and transparent environment.”

H is left out of your acronym 😑
