I'm very tired, so please bear with me?
Under Weetman's CV is, I take it that he's worked with "Sir Arthur Hall Professor of Medicine and Honorary Consultant Endocrinologist from 1991-2016"?
An "Honorary" Title is normally one which is awarded without the requirement for having 'studied' and strenuously earned the title of "Consultant Endocrinologist" ~ and it appears Weetman was working with this guy?
Am I right, or am I just too over-tired to even be writing this..?

Weetman really makes me wanna womit. Uggggh
This is the first time I have read the article in full. I have never read such a lot of arrogant, supercilious, prejudiced and inhumane drivel.
If he had his way we would all be locked up in an institution for the insane. He reminds me of a Victorian doctor faced with something new that he cannot explain. It seems that he does not much like patients who do research in order to be better informed.
I cannot help but feel that if the vast majority of these patients with so-called 'somatoform' disorders were male, he might have a different approach. The quotation he uses at the beginning is offensive and insulting to patients, particularly female patients.
I hope in thus expressing my feelings I have not gone against the posting guidelines, I suppose I shall know that if my post is edited.
I echo the above two bloggers. What an endoprat! I cannot believe how a supposedly highly educated person talks such nonsense. It is extremely worrying.
