That was followed by NICE fiasco, part 2. Rawlins should withdraw guidance and start again. Since then, something of a maelstrom has engulfed NICE, so it’s time for an update. It isn’t only those who are appalled that NHS should endorse voodoo medicine on the basis of very slim evidence who are asking NICE to rethink their guidance on low back pain. Pain specialists are up in arms too, and have even started a blog, ‘Not Nearly as NICE as you think …‘, to express their views. Equally adverse opinions are being expressed in the Britsh Medical Journal. A letter there is signed by over 50 specialists in pain medicine. It ...

This will be the first complementary medicine title that the BMJ Group has [...] (Source: DC's goodscience) DC's goodscience blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1947844 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:57:50 +0100 1947844 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1877274&cid=t_281057_136_f&fid=37852&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdonnatrussell.com%2F2008%2F10%2F15%2Flove-death-in-the-lost-found%2F It was with some trepidation that I began blogging. I was discouraged by the makeshift tone of blogs. There would be a few breathless entries. Then the entries would grow farther apart in time. Sometimes there were apologies for not keeping current. Then a short goodbye. Or, more often, an abrupt cessation. Scott Swaner (1968-2006) “People move on to other things, other projects,” a friend explained. “But we still have their words.” One blogger’s name was Scott Swaner. I found him the way one usually does in the post-millenium world. You do a search, or someone sends you a link. Somehow I became aware of a man who was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer and died in 2006 at the age of 38. I must confess: I have a thing for pancreatic cancer patients. W...

Cummings didn’t have anything to cover the baby, and refused to use the napkin the manager offered. In an interview in the Bellevue Intelligencer, Cummings explained: I was so upset because I was all alone and I felt everybody was looking at me. When my husband came back I told him ‘we have to go.’ … He thought I was kidding and I started crying hysterically. After doing a little research on-line, Cummings decided to file a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission against the American-based Flying J truck stop chain. ‘It really affected my self-esteem,’ she said. ‘I’m an e...
