Thanks for defending me, but I would have to respect someone to feel ridicle about what they say.

I have my registry in Radiology, CT, and MRI. I have worked in both modalities since their inception-35+ years (MRI prior to it's FDA approval). In other words, I learned CT and MRI without a training program and in the case of MRI-without a book! I have trained 90% of the MRI tech currently practicing in the city-there are close to 30 MRI scanners in this city. I currently administer Nuclear Medicine, PET/CT, Vascular and General Ultrasound, CT and MRI, generating over 50 million dollars of revenue for my employer. I have gotten all of my modalities ACR accredited since I took over this position. I am involved in research in EVERY one of these modalities at a university hospital. Our 3T MRI scanner is one of only a dozen in the country doing Cardiac studies in the clinical setting. Currently U of M sends their cardiac patients to us for that study since they are only doing the cardiac MRI as research. I am also involved with fMRI studies being conducted by a physician from Uof M, among other studies. We just recieved our approval to do ELCAP early lung cancer screenings in CT on people who have smoked for 20+ years. I sit on the planning committee for our soon to open cancer center, I am on our accredited Stroke committee and our accredited Trauma committee. We are a level one trauma center and soon to be the only Primary stroke center in NW OHIO. Our hospital was recently named BEST HOSPITAL in the region by US News and World Report.
"The University of Toledo Medical Center was recently named the best hospital in the region for 2011-2012 by U.S. News and World Report.
This ranking is based on seven clinical specialties including ear, nose and throat, geriatrics, kidney disorders, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology."

No brag, just fact-You don't get this without the help of a great IMAGING DEPT.and knowing a bit about what the heck is going on...!

Very impressive, sincerely. I was wrong about your knowledge of research. So why can't you apply this to things like knowing that ALL research is fair game for critiques and replication? You should know that just because a study is in a journal does not make it infalliable.

Wow, you go gilrl!!!! :crap2::crap2:

Take it with a grain of salt.

????? Another mystery post. Are you The Shadow?

Think of it this way.

WAR natures way to limiting the amount of humans.

Katz: I am most certainly open and I HAVE been reading the studies you quoted. Trouble is, I don't have a lot of time. What looks to you like some dismissal on my part is quoting the researchers own limitations. *So far*, none of the ones I looked at claimed that they were trying to be the DEFINITIVE authority on the subject. These were (again, so far) studies that were designed to show where more research might be warranted.

Again, I'm trying to be fair here since you went to the trouble of providing sources.

Exactly...as I wrote above, each research study is another successive approximation to the truth. Every study is open to critique and every researcher expects that.

I posted several studies, all of which were debunked by you for some reason or another. I do not think that all studies are infallible, nor do I throw them all out.
I have supplied numerous studies, published by numerous different medical journals, from numerous countries- that all seem to point to very similar conclusions. Not as if I posted all that were done and verified and published by the same biased entity.

Analyzing a study is what a professional does; an amateur debunks. I most certainly have NOT commented on ALL of the studies as you say I have. I have a life. I don't have time or interest to read all of them. If you kept your statements to realistic ones, like I analyzed SOME of the studies, you would be more believeable.

One time I'm am impressive and the next I am not believable...whatever. It is true that you have found fault with the majority of my postings on this forum. I spend a good deal of time and thought prior to posting on this forum. If I worded a post wrong recently using the word "ALL" instead of the "ALL the studies that you have checked out so far", please forgive me. I too have a life.

I forgive you....let's make nice with each other from this point on.
