Weezuhl you are funny too... You are the only person I know who would attend an ADCOM for a company you have no vested interest in...

wimusky, I can honestly say, and I'm not being facetious, that was one of my proudest days as a physician. I've saved lives many times before, but on that day, I know I helped to save thousands of lives. I know there is plenty of conjecture about my motives for doing it, but I can say with absolute certainty that if these amateurs had been allowed to poison hundreds of thousands of patients with their silly toxic formulation, then there would have been substantial morbidity and mortality as a result. IPCI submitted one slide that had one line about blue dye safety, and I submitted 26 slides that each had multiple data points proving the lack of blue dye safety. Whatever role I played, and several participants mentioned my presentation as they explained their votes, I am extremely pleased to have had the opportunity to keep those people safe.

Hippocratic Oath

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.

I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
