“Eh. I make a ghosting.”

This is a new version of the old Jewish joke (it’s the second joke on this page). One after another, when you ask med school professors why they ghost, they say what the latest example of the breed, a guy named Fiorica, says:

“I wouldn’t allow my name to be on something that I didn’t feel comfortable with.”

Fiorica, who, like Barbara Sherwin, gets chills up and down his spine when he thinks of female hormones, was easily identified by Wyeth as someone who’d put his name on any crap they published about their pill, Mother’s Magic Bullet, and by the way don’t worry about heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and the occasional spot of cancer.

[Fiorica] declined to say if his opinions on the risks of hormone therapy have changed in light of [this] data.

“That’s a whole different discussion,” he said, before declining further interviews.

He must have felt uncomfortable.

Buy UD's book!

Sure, it's pricey.

But remind me how much money you've paid me over the last four years while I've been sweating out this blog. Plus there's stuff about universities in our book, which could have come right out of University Diaries.
