I'm very curious- IS she really infuencial, or fringey? I would have thought she was fringey and dogmatic per the "mainstream"--I think I know who you mean, with the jumbo website. I sort of thought most experts took a more skeptical tone and were not quick to take solid, cemented positions one way or another? (I mentioned no names here.)


> I dunno why really, but the UK is very very benzo-phobic. There's an influential Professor woman at a university there in the UK, who is hmmmmm, rather anti-benzo to put it mildly and has greatly influenced the prescribing patterns of UK GPs and pdocs. The site she runs has been posted here on babble in the past, but its slightly taboo because of the outcry it causes amongst babblers.

Long-term, well forgit it completely. For some reason, they are more relaxed with elderly women who have been on them for years. Sigh. Its sad. Even the WHO classifies diazepram as an 'essential core' drug of any healthcare system.

> Ed_uk knows alot more about benzo use and the UK. I find it quite sad really and I want to say something uncivil about this woman who-can't-be mentioned-because-its-so-inflammitory but I can't obviously.
