Ref: 550 Lancs
For the past twelve years there has been a CFS clinic at North
 Manchester General Hospital run by four specialists who believe ME is a
 biological illness. The clinic has taken referrals from all over the North
 West of England.

When the Manchester CNCC on CFS/ME was set up two years ago a
 psychiatrist, unknown to me, who also works at North Manchester General got 
the
 job of Clinical Champion. The four local specialists who believe ME is
 a biological illness were never even told that the job of Clinical
 Champion was available until AFTER the post was filled. The Manchester
 Psychiatrist Clinical Champion is now also chair of the whole English CNCC
 on CFS/ME collaborative. At the launch meeting for the Manchester CNCC
 he quoted only the psychosocial theory of ME. I have the lecture slides
 to prove this. At the lecture he expressed the psychosocial dogma that
 doctors who believe ME is a biological illness are an obstacle to the
 recovery of ME sufferers. When I asked him at a committee meeting to
 confirm if he truly believed in this dogma he refused to answer.

I have just been told that after twelve years the CFS clinic run by the
 specialists who believe ME is a biological illness is to be closed and
 the psychiatrist is to get all the money that used to go to the
 running of the clinic.

People in Greater Manchester will no longer have access to an NHS
 specialist who believes ME is a biological illness. This is all thanks to
 the new CNCC on CFS/ME set up. In future we will only have access to a
 service controlled by a psychiatrist who believes ME is a psychosocial
 illness.

"There is a wicked pretense that one has been informed. But no such thing 
has truly occurred! A mere slogan, an empty litany. No arguments are heard, 
no evidence is weighed. It isn't news at all, only a source of amusement for 
idlers." (Gibson-Sterling, The Difference Engine)

My 'pooter and OE have been buggy for a long time.

If I hover the mouse over the OE quick launch icon it reads "msimn.exe. 
Yippe Yippe Yoe!"

Surely that can't be right! I plan to switch to the email client that goes 
with Firefox, as I like Firefox.

My 'pooter and OE have been buggy for a long time.

If I hover the mouse over the OE quick launch icon it reads "msimn.exe. 
Yippe Yippe Yoe!"

Surely that can't be right! I plan to switch to the email client that goes 
with Firefox, as I like Firefox.

LONDON (Reuters) - Many mental health wards may do more harm than good 
and on some, patients are subjected to violence, verbal abuse and 
sexual harassment, according to special reports in the Lancet on 
Friday.


The medical journal said access to psychological treatment was 
"pitiful" and public attitudes to the mentally ill were worsening.

"Currently too many wards are at best untherapeutic and at worse 
unsafe," the journal said in a commentary. It noted that one in four 
people in Britain would be affected by a mental health problem during 
their lifetime.

The House of Commons passed a Mental Health Bill earlier in July that 
critics say will trample on the rights of people suffering from mental 
illness and deter those who need help from seeking it.

The reforms -- which can include the detention of potentially 
dangerous patients -- followed a public outcry after a series of 
murders by mentally ill people.

People with psychiatric problems commit around 60 murders per year. 
But patients in mental health wards may be in bigger danger than the 
public, the Lancet said.
