This MD seems as conservative as they come. Probably every Ophthalmologist's nightmare when he testifies as an expert witness. Journal of Refractive Surgery Volume 14 (5) * September/October 1998 * Special Article (abstract) The Call of the Sirens: Ethically Navigating the Sea of Nonvalidated Therapies Michael R. Grimmett, MD, FACP, FACS; Daniel P. Sulmasy, OFM, MD, PhD ABSTRACT Medical research and innovation are vital to the advancement of medicine and, ultimately, benefit society and individual patients. However, the ethical principles of beneficence, respect for persons, and justice must guide the development and implementation of new practices. Ethical codes governing clinical practice and research already warn practitioners to avoid the use of nonvalidated practices outside of controlled clinical trials. Nonetheless, lack of compliance with these codes places many patients at risk for harm. Ophthalmologists, as well as all physicians, must recommit themselves to these ethical principles and codes and establish more vigorous peer-review methods to protect patients from nonvalidated practices that are implemented without a scientific basis.

Conley Department of Ethics, St. Vincents Hospital & Medical Center, New York, New York and New York Medical College, Valhalla, New York (Sulmasy).

Bob Beck, I'm also thinking there must be a Senator, Congressman, senior administration or justice department official with a little SNRS in their "blind trust" (wink, wink) who has also been cheated and injured. When we see BEAM or VISX begin to sell off mysteriously, it may indicate that the subpoenas have arrived.

Pete Stark would appreciate a friendly reminder to looks out for his district needs. Regards, Duke
