I appreciated your discussion with Ms. Greenberger, and a number of points continue to be of concern; particularly that of women being underrepresented in large clinical trials. As a PI in cardiovascular trials, we tried hard to recruit women, but the issues of time, transportation, and concern in the childbearing woman of litigation were huge barriers. Perhaps we need to issue grants with the stipulation that at least 30% of the recruits need to be women, OR reject papers that have a severe underrepresenation of women as not clinically valid.

Comment on Smoking is So Bad For You That……..It Makes Me Sick by Alexis Raymundo

I agree with you Doc. Even if we bombard people with facts and set them up on true-to-life visuals, those do not deter them from smoking still. It’s all in the mind, they said. I hope they should think of their future instead. It’s a lucky strike for anyone who will die a natural death even if he or she smokes packs and packs of cigs a day.
