>>There it is Braddy. Bottom line: 14 mill diabetics in the USA, 50% of whom have ED.<< As a stickler for accuracy, TA, the above statement is patently incorrect, unless all diabetics are males or 1/2 of women suffer from erectile dysfunction. If we figure 1/2 of diabetics are males and that 50% of them have erectile dysfunction, we come up with a figure of 3.5M male diabetics with ED. Please note that I am not arguing that you cannot be a physician because of the mistake you made above. As you see, even the most brilliant physician among us can make an occasional mistake. So lighten up a bit about all this physician stuff. (:>) We all make mistakes.
