May 23, 2022 12 Comments

A month ago I had an email from Ben Fox of forauthors@shepherd.com - a new venture looking to promote books in a new way. See Shepherd.com. The idea is to feature a book by an author and then get her or him to list five books that have particularly influenced them - centered on a topic of their choosing and linked into their work.  Newspapers have been doing this for decades … [Read more...] about The Best Books on Medical Treatments Gone Wrong

May 2, 2022 9 Comments

This post is by Spruce who has been a regular contributor to these columns.  It follows from his comments on The Invisible Doctor and it adds to that post which has had a lot of comments since.  Humans seem to have a tendency to caste systems but most people would be surprised to think you could find them in modern medicine.  I had been thinking about getting a copy of my … [Read more...] about The Caste System in Medicine

Tsang/Shidlofsky Visual Snow Protocol

April 25, 2022 28 Comments

Visual snow describes the appearance of flickering dots or “static” in the field of vision. It’s thought to be a problem with visual processing rather than a structural issue within the eyes. This can cause difficulties for patients when trying to report visual snow to their doctor, as standard eye examinations typically find no abnormalities in these patients. The problem … [Read more...] about Tsang/Shidlofsky Visual Snow Protocol

The Invisible Doctor

From her first email M seemed completely believable. Everything since has added to her believability. So why is she not believed?

The printed version of our new paper “Development and persistence of patient-reported visual problems associated with serotonin reuptake inhibiting antidepressants” has just been published. We couldn’t afford open access, so it would normally only be available to purchase or for subscribers of the journal. However, we've paid a fee of $200 USD which allows us to post the … [Read more...] about New Study of Antidepressants and Vision Problems
