Interesting article in the BMJ about patient partnership, and patients initiating and leading research.

What an interesting post. Thank you.

Maybe some here remember a particular article on the BMJ which resulted in a lot of patient responses. It is here:

Bad medicine: thyroid disease

BMJ 2012; 345 doi: dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.e7596 (Published 09 November 2012)

bmj.com/content/345/bmj.e7596

Click on the Responses tab to see the responses, most of which were from patients. (And there have been other articles which gathered significant patient response levels.)

Thanks Rod, I hadn't seen that article - I hope he felt annihilated after reading those responses!

Well that proves we both indulge in wishful thinking.
