Your ridicule of Ladydoc was very unflattering of you.:sing:

Some people are just smarter then everybody and know what is right. It is a fact of life. We should listen to them because they are our betters. Don't cha know?

As long as they are happy being legends in their own minds, who am I to wake them up?

I was quoting some of the comments made by OTHER medical professionals and researchers who read the journal article. Go read them...they are right under the article. Oh wait....you don't want to read anything that disproves your beliefs. So don't bother..you won't understand them. I was trained to do research...how many studies have you done? That's what I thought...none. Why don't you write to each and every person who commented on the article and let them know that you don't think that they have the right to critique the study. The scientific process is one of give and take, research and comment, refinement of the research design, add additional control groups, refine the null hypothesis, etc. You are obviously ignorant of the entire research process. Just because a study gets published does not make it infalliable. Every researcher knows that they will have critiques written about their work..that is how the field gets closer and closer to the truth. Research is a series of steps; it is a successive approximation to what the real answer is. SO go educate yourself on research design and process and then maybe you might get a clue.

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.
