Dear Sir/Madam
Reference: GULF WAR SYNDROME
May I take up a few moments of your time and the organisation that you represent.
Could you please consider the following and offer a suitable response.
1. WHAT CONSTITUTES A MEDICAL SYNDROME AND HOW WOULD A MEDICAL SYNDROME BE DEFINED?
2. IN THE LATEST EDITION OF THE ICD-10 INTERNATIONAL STATISTICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES AND RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS WHY HAS THE GULF WAR SYNDROME NOT BEEN LISTED AND OR IDENTIFIED? IT IS NOW QUITE CLEAR TO SEE THAT THE GULF WAR SYNDROME PROVIDES FOR A PATTERN OF ERMERGING ILLNESS, DISEASE AND ILL HEALTH, SO WHY THE ABSENCE ?
3. HOW IS A NEW MEDICAL CONDITION CONSIDERED FOR ENTRY INTO ICD LITERATURE?
4. WHO CONSIDERS NEW MEDICAL CONDITIONS FOR PUBLICATION AND RECOGNITION INTO ICD LITERATURE ?
5. HOW CAN THE VICTIMS OF THE GULF WAR SYNDROME INFLUENCE THE DECISION MAKERS OF ICD LITERATURE IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE RECOGNITION FOR THEIR SUFFERINGS ?
Please accept my sincere apologies for approaching you and the WHO directly regarding this matter but I felt that this would be the fastest and cheapest way to secure your attention.
I thank you for your time and attention and look forward to your reply.
Best wishes
