		<description><![CDATA[There are some jobs that should be held to a higher standard. Like holding public office, or serving as a priest, or acting as someone&#8217;s surgeon. Maybe you&#8217;re about to amputate a limb&#8230;and the patient assumes you know the correct one to remove. 
Well, as experience has taught us—not always.

You know how drug advertisements look in magazines—it can be like 3 pages of text (aka &#8220;product disclosure&#8221;) that runs on and on and interrupts whatever you&#8217;re reading. Heaven help you if you&#8217;re reading Reader&#8217;s Digest where 3 pages suddenly becomes 5 due to the smaller format. And if you do take [...]]]></description>

No one really expects much from this news—ie, doctors aren&#8217;t expected to be offering it to their male patients (or their parents as the case may be). But I find it interesting none [...]]]></description>

Sounds pretty basic. A hospital is a high-stress environment. Decisions [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s full of intrigue and false promises. Who knew that the anti-cholesterol drug market could offer so much, and yet so little at the same time?
