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 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! -
@C7RKY This is stuff that every potential patient really needs to know! -
@paulrogers002 Very much so. Most will get steered towards NHS choices. Has it's uses, but there are a LOT of things not detailed on there. -
@C7RKY I can imagine - wouldn't want to 'confuse' anyone, eh? With their rights or anything like that.. -
@paulrogers002 Haha! You should see how the concept of consent is twisted into a 'partnership decision'. Have to dig V deep to find reality! - 4 more replies
