Sick of seeing parents & docs being vilified if they dare even ask of a link between MMR & autism. It's called INFORMED consent for a reason
@paulrogers002 Agreed! Consent is being abused in several areas of medical world imho. If you need to bully/mislead, your argument is weak.

@C7RKY Medical profession do seem esp. insecure about these sort of questions. Wrong theory of disease until a century ago.. -
@paulrogers002 Shhh...you might cause some to question the underlying 'science', supporting the arrogant assumption of always being right! -
@C7RKY That fear haunts them daily, I'm sure - most repeat medical rituals by rote, just as mistaken forebears did.. -
@paulrogers002 It's amazing how the dynamic of the relationship can be influenced, merely by learning rules of informed consent. Says it all -
@C7RKY Too true - and most concerns about 'quackery' are about professional exclusivity/authority role, not protecting patients as such. -
@paulrogers002 We fundamentally want to trust, esp when it's about our health & we don't understand the speciality. That makes us vulnerable -
@C7RKY Rise of (often mistaken..!) self-diagnosis courtesy of the Net has made patients a lot more confident and proactive though. -
@paulrogers002 For those with time & determination, I'd steer them towards NICE clinical guidelines & underpinning research. Doctors' rules! - 8 more replies
