Laura, thank you for the work you are doing! I was so disappointed with the en banc decision . . .

Patrick S. O'Donnell

Yes, welcome from a longtime reader.

I do have one small quibble: "Medical schools develop new treatments and medicines." Really? They may incorporate such things into their curriculum and training but I don't think it's true that schools themselves are, in general, the source of ('develop') such treatments and medicines.

Steve L.

Patrick: Medical schools do a great deal of research into new treatments and medicines, including clinical trials for new drugs. Research is a requirement for tenure in medical school, and professors are given "protected time" for research (as opposed to clinics).

Thanks Laura...oops, I mean Steve. I was being deliberately provocative with my question, so let's inquire into the claim that medical schools "do a great deal of research into new treatments and medicines, including clinical trials for new drugs." I won't do this here, as the explanation for the provocation and thus my reply is rather long, so I'm moving it to your post.
