Contact and feedback
Last updated: November 1, 2025
An entity that does not interact with anything is a nonentity.
“Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”
“We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.”

Contact: it is good to make contact
Neutrinos pass through the Earth. Naturally occurring neutrinos were only discovered in 1956 by looking for them where nothing else interacted, three kilometres below the Earth’s surface in a gold mine. Running a website also depends on interaction. Although the computer tells me the number of people visiting each day, there is no interaction, and I don’t know if anyone reads it.
Occasionally, someone tells me they have read something. Rarely, someone emails, and suddenly the website seems alive. I know a person has been on the site and then emailed me from the site.
This page is intended to encourage you to be brave and contact me about anything you’d like to discuss. It offers an opportunity to contribute to and improve this site, making it more engaging and useful. All contributions will be welcomed, considered with respect, and taken seriously; however, not all will necessarily be acted upon. The contact form is below.
Feedback: errors or malfunctions.
The website is not perfect. Since starting in 2020, I have learned about web design and mechanics from scratch, but my ignorance is still far greater than my knowledge and skill. Pages fail to appear, links to other pages or websites do not work, figures do not load, and many other failures must occur.
I can also make mistakes in my writing or references. I strive always to be accurate, or to state what is uncertain, and never intend to mislead or misrepresent others. Nevertheless, errors of many kinds occur and mislead others or, worse, give readers incorrect information,
I welcome feedback on any issues with the site’s functionality. The more information you provide, the better, but simply stating that a problem exists is sufficient.
I welcome feedback on errors, ambiguous statements that may mislead or confuse, unsupported claims, and so on. If appropriate, please suggest what I should say and/or provide a reference or source I can use to rectify the error.
Debate, dispute, or discuss other issues.
I have a point of view, which is usually clear. Still, I am always open to other perspectives and welcome comments and discussion. This applies to publishing a piece (with the author’s name); I would like to edit it for clarity and style but not to alter the facts or opinions. Everything would be checked with the author before publication.
An open door
I am generally happy to be contacted about anything. This can include:
- Writing a page, for example, discussing what you think your profession adds to a rehabilitation team.
- Writing a page about your experience of rehabilitation as a patient.
- Making a substantive comment to be appended to a post or page.
- Asking for more information about something on the site, for example, evidence supporting something.
- Suggesting a topic I should discuss.
- Wanting to use any of the material on the site.
The only thing I will not provide is clinical advice about any medical or rehabilitation problem.
Derick Wade (Dr)
