JL, I appreciate your healthy degree of skepticism. I think you can let this one go, as I'm not here to beat bro's chest for him. The reference was made in the context of illustrating, that not all practitioners are cut from the same cloth. I used V as an example, because it's relevant to the board, rather than bore the community about his publications and milestones that have far greater meaning.
I haven't forgotten when the board lit up and I'm paraphrasing here: "It's impossible for a company to know which doctors wrote what". Well, we recently learned of a third-party data breach which showed what? It bared naked everything from the prescribing doctors to their patients. I'll say this for the last time for the record: Amarin had contacted bro to tell him he was the first. Honestly, he couldn't give a rats ass if he was the first or the last.
