Plenary Session

As yet another burned out physician with nothing other than thinly-veiled pharma-driven biased research to inform practice, I lose more and more hope every day for our field and our collective professional future and ability to truly help people as we all initially intended- in their best interest. Thank you for being a brave and eloquent voice in analyzing and calling out specific examples of the corruption they has so insidiously infiltrated our field. Awareness leads to knowledge, and knowledge leads to the power to change things to be more in line with the ethics most of us hold.

There is a lot to be desired from our healthcare system and certainly we need to be questioning how we can better serve our patients. However, this growing hate sentiment toward NIH research and researchers by the host leaves a foul taste. It’s clear the host projects his own vendetta against his inability to gain such funding, under the premise that the NIH failed. Patients and their communities have benefited greatly from this work, it questions his credibility that he would be so dismissive of decades of progress and the backs of those who got us here. The podcast comes across more like a rant of grievances and lacks practical solutions for such healthcare shortcomings.

Brilliant and so useful to us here in the trenches! Thanks

As a civilian working in Death Care, I’m grateful for this podcast. An important aspect of the scientific method is to poke holes in all hypotheses in order to strengthen the robustness of a conclusion. Thank you
