It took a while for penicillin to be accepted by MD's.

I remember as a child, in the 1930's, having a leg infection...A local MD was called and he had not heard of penicillin and gave me a sulphur drug instead.

"Although Fleming published the discovery of penicillin in the British Journal of Experimental Pathology in 1929, the scientific community greeted his work with little initial enthusiasm. Additionally, Fleming found it difficult to isolate this precious ‘mould juice’ in large quantities. It was not until 1940, just as he was contemplating retirement, that two scientists, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, became interested in penicillin. In time, they were able to mass-produce it for use during World War II."

Dr. Bhatt's interest in Vascepa is akin to Dr. Florey's interest in penicillin.
