Maybe the publicity of Hilary Clinton being prescribed NDT and being able to run the gauntlet to try to become President showed how much energy she had in her body.

We, females, want the same or optimal treatment even though we're not millionaresses who could buy the whole of the company which produces NDT.

Diogenes, any word on when your study that was accepted a couple of months ago will be published? PR

[diogenes Remembering in reply to PR4NOW]

We are at present in a very peculiar and for me, a unique situation. The paper was accepted by both reviewers pending some revision (which is always the case). We revised the paper according to their wishes, but they have apparently failed to respond to the journal giving their agreement to the new format. This puts us in a kind of limbo because current editors are too weakwilled to act on their own initiative. I've given them three weeks before asking what exactly is going on now and what their intentions are. It is a very unsatisfactory situation indeed and to say that I am annoyed is putting it mildly.

[PR4NOW in reply to diogenes]

I will hope for a speedy resolution, I have been extremely curious to read the paper.

To the outsider, medical science is a rather strange business, fraught with many perils

having little to do with the actual quality of the science. PR
