Comment on It’s time for doctors to apologise to their ME patientsparent

Comments

Yeah, we do what we can, as good as we can.

But I'm imagining that medical community also tries their best to a) push state of knowledge forward b) safely apply known best practices while curing patients, thus acting in patients best interest. This two goals are compatible in long term and conflict in short term: you can't really apply experimental treatments or "experimental diagnosis" to patients outside of research programs, even in case when it could potentially be in patients best interest. Do authors expect researchers to push boundaries faster or maybe they expect practitioners to apply unchecked knowledge?

Article tone and title are, in my opinion, very unreasonable.
