Anti-science author,
By
This review is from: Coma and Impaired Consciousness: A Clinical Perspective (Paperback)
I wouldn't trust anything Ropper wrote. In other books he writes very inaccurately on ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis aka CFS/CFIDS). ME is a common (1M+ in US) and extremely debilitating NeuroEndocrine Immune Disease. He conflates ME (CFS) and idiopathic chronic fatigue and say ME is just a euphamism for depression. Shameful.
