And just to show that Panos has not offended me below but given
confirmation, I encourage you all to do as Panos wills.
>>Dear colleagues,
>>
>>In response to Goh's message and in view of what has been said in the past
>>three days or so, can we now reverse the argument and examine the evidence
>>that justify the use of 'guru- isms' such as McKenzie, Maitland, Cyriax,
>>Mulligan, Butler etc? And this time lets keep it where it belongs: the
>>level of academic discourse not passionate belief and fanatic opinion.
>>
>>I propose the following set of rules in an effort to keep some civility:
>>
>>- No names to be mentioned other as a reference (to previous messages or
>>published papers). in other words, lets try and keep the response
>>impersonal, such that there is no issue of offence
>>
>>- No unjustified claims ('I know it works, I don't need a paper to tell
me
>>so' and the like- and that includes books)
>>
>>- Please do provide origins and rational for the concepts mentioned
above,
>>and try to juxtapose these to modern thought of disease progression,
>>physiology and disease management
>>
>>- When mentioning efficacy (it works) lets put that into context: there
>are
>>published evidence of some quality (RCT- SysReview), the patient does not
>>suffer recurrence, the disease is managed by this
>approach
>>with minimum utilization of expensive resources, the outcome is
measurable
>>with a validated tool etc. The same goes when one argues that it doesn't
>>work.
>>
>>Anyone who breaks this rules will be awarded 'Bruce-points' in return!!!
>>
>>I hope this is a starting point, please do add your suggestions on how
>this
>>can still maintain some reason behind it and not end-up as a pissing
>>contest. But don't forget the question, by focusing on the rules.
>>
>>Yours, Panos
