(27,985 posts)Oh, my, the horrors, the horrors. If you don't believe that Medicine and Politics are firmly enmeshed and have been for a very long time, then I have a bridge to sell you. Cheap.
Ask me sometime about the CDC, Smithkline Beecham, Dr. Verstraeten and $600,000 per year. We can sit around a fire and shine lights on our faces to make it a real horror story. Not that it isn't a horror story in the light of day but since one doubts, one should get the full effect.
Edited to add: Not on this forum, though. I don't talk of such things here. It stresses the people too much. They do love their doctors and medical science and who am I to deny them such faith? I am but a lowly nurse. What would I know of backroom deals and politics in medicine. Okay, need to stop now, I'm getting a stitch in my side.
