A smart young woman with glasses and a book is talking to an exhausted woman in an armchair. The young woman is saying; “It says here that some psychiatrists believe you’re only ill because think you’re ill…” The exhausted woman is replying “If I was so powerful I could create PEM with my thoughts, I’d have thought those doctors dead and replaced them within a a research department years ago” The cartoon is by #FanningTheFlames

Two smug Victorian gentlemen are discussing something. The one on the left is saying “would anyone stop us if we recommended hard Labour for people with #ME? The man on the right is saying “Probably not, we’re disabling and killing patients by recommending GET anyway. The caption is a mock-up of the Cochrane symbol and it says “Cochrane-Overriding Science with BPS Compliance. The cartoon is by #FanningTheFlames

There is a picture of a man with glasses, an elaborate beard, a bow tie and a pipe The heading says “WARNING SIGNS of BPSM disease in doctors” The caption says - “this doctor is unlikely to be helpful” USEFUL RESPONSE - “I see you prefer bow ties to science”

Yes, it’s truly despicable - here’s my cartoon on the issue.

There is a drawing of two rich Victorian gentlemen talking and laughing together. The one on the left is saying “I don’t think the GMC would stop us if we recommended lobotomies for #pwME” The man on the right is wearing a top hat and laughing. He’s whispering “Well, we’re already prescribing death with GET” At the bottom is a mock-up of the Cochrane logo with the words “Wessely Speaks - We Comply - You Die” The cartoon is by #Fanning The Flames

The image is of a fake notice from Cochrane Library. The heading says ‘Cochrane Library - Our Ignorance/Your Death The main message says - Cochrane Library has today endorsed the reintroduction of lobotomy for any behaviour that annoys doctors, opium cordial for childhood coughs, chloroform for asthma, and lying inside a dead whale as a cure for rheumatoid arthritis When asked: about the dubious science, The BMJ responded "We'll wait 40 years before commenting in case they're right" The cartoon is by #FanningTheFlames

Has Cochrane crossed the line between mad adherence to the BPS fanatics and headed into gross negligence manslaughter territory?

There is a pen and ink drawing a rabbit is talking to the a mad hatter - the mad hatter has the name Cochrane on his hat band. The rabbit is looking worried and saying ‘are you ever going to produce a Cochrane Review of GET?’ The Mad Hatter is waving a hand around dismissively and has a superior look on his face. He’s saying “my dear chap, we don’t need to read the science, NICE guidelines, or the WHO report because everyone knows that exercise is medicine” At the bottom the caption says “Has Cochrane crossed the line between laziness and murder?

When your medical advice is out of line with other major institutions, do your actions now constitute gross negligence manslaughter?

Yup. Patients with #ME have been in hell for decades as well because of the preposterous and unverifiable BPS model that defines our illness as psychosomatic. I make cartoons about this

At what point does ignoring the scientific research, the death toll, #MaeveInquest and patient statements, shift from scientific differences to negligence and homicide?

There is an image of an Angel with clouds, sunlight and the gates of heaven. Next to the Angel is a silhouette of a man begging in prayer and at the bottom is a cherub praying The Angel is saying “No room for you here - you killed hundreds in the UK alone” The begging man is saying ”Don’t compare us to Harold Shipman…” The cherub is saying “I think you just did that yourself”

It is pretty outrageous when people are dying, the science is showing organic disease, and they simply won’t change course. At what point does intransigence become murder?
There is an image of the devil surrounded by flames. On the wall is a poster saying “Genocidal Medics ALWAYS welcome here” The devil is saying “the road to hell is paved with the bodies of people brutalised by the unverifiable nonsense of the BPS obsessive” The cartoon was made by #FannngTheFlames

If a doctor refuses to change course when it’s clear that people are dying, and the science is against him - does that make him a murderer?

Thanks for this. Here’s a newer version. Does a doctor become a murderer if he refuses to change course once his pervasive (but false) ideas have been shown to kill people?

There’s a photo of the Bishop of Washington taken while she was giving the sermon at Trump’s inaugural and an inset smaller photo of Simon Wessely looking smug. The heading says “People with MEcfs are not criminals. They pay their taxes and are good neighbours” The bishop is looking directly at Wessely and saying “yes, I’m looking at you too”.

There are plenty of bio-markers for #ME but none have been turned into tests. How about doctors ditch the denigrating BPS model of this organic and simply start believing us?
