And quit avoiding my 100k question Cacaito and Bluegreen..

On a further hemo trauma trial, dont forget my contention/theory that the endpoint was impossible because there was perhaps NO PLACEBO GROUP. Yes, it is possible that there was NO placebo group. So try to show a variance in that!
I brought my theory to the companies attention and all they could say at the timewas they didnt think that was the case.
They did not say my idea a definate wrong or impossible.
According to my view>, the plaecbo group did get bpi as hard as that is to believe. And yes the company WILL acknowledge that bpi did NOT fail in hemo trauma due to a lack of drug activity.
>can you imagine a drug study comparing a drug and a placebo group where the placebo group also got the drug inadvertantly by study design? Is it true? Its my theory.
Do I think its true, god I hope its not true.
As far as meningo goes, I guess the problem there is also not the drug but the speed to administer,the high standard
of care, and difficulty in numbers. I also guess that the so called "benefit" will be fairly obvious to most all except the fda. Standard disclaimers bigtime. All my theory and guesswork. No facts.
