I'm sorry if I touched a nerve. I read the article and even managed to identifiy that they used self reported data to prove a narrative that conveniently aligns with a current proposal by the US federal government to classify contracted gig workers as employees. Again, absolute detachment from reality.
- harvey9 4y agoSelf reported data for "poor sleep quality, headaches, stomach issues and back pain." That's the normal way data is collected for those things in routine healthcare. We will prescribe drugs based on those self reports.

- harvey9 4y agoI'm in the UK but yes, we also prescribe physiotherapy and exercise based on self reports. My point was we don't always need an MRI to corroborate what the patient tells us.
