I wouldn't really be bothered if you did tbh, but medical science and it's practical application works for the most part, it's really not up for discussion. The whole point was about a single claim you made, which it turns out is incorrect. That's all.
Well, we will just have to agree to disagree on that point. I can think of a handful of drugs that don't require dosage per body weight consideration, but most do and the way its done is more primative than the same considerations in Animal Science,.
And I'll imagine they'll vary still more over time, at least on this one particular issue. But it's all good and part of life's rich tapestry.
Oh this debate will rage on for some time, but things aways do seem to improve, so I'll agree it IS all good.
Whilst I fully respect the above may well have been a powerful influence on your view of the entire medical profession, I think perhaps you might want to look further afield to develop a broader view of it all. I don't do anecdotal evidence. Nor do I base my views on individual incidents, bad choices are made that way. YMMV
You are right that anecdotal evidence is a poor basis for a valid analytical decision. But when it comes to medical professionals, we don't have much else to go one (when a Dr. only loses his/her license due to multiple grievous mistakes and the industry is so close mouthed), Generally, I'll give someone in the profession the benefit of the doubt, but I temper that with a healthy skepticism about placing my faith in any mere mortal.
BTW - What do you think of CUSA and their website?
