On the humorous side a bit- when I was googling, this site with the photo came up.

Look at that stack of "submissions" (back in the 60's, I'm sure it's worse today)- imagine wading through that stuff all day and trying to remain sane and awake w/o using copious caffeine, lol !

Wow.

A picture is worth a 1000 words, or lines of scientific "study" boring reading. Holy smokes- reading those stacks would be mind blowing, but interesting at the same time depending on what the new drug/process is and what it was attempting to treat.

Interesting how the NDA numbers were so high in the past- then sharply dropped off- and now have been more or less constant/flatlined it seems? Bet the cost created by the FDA is one of the main, driving factors? Is the FDA really our friend and helper?
