LOL! Because I wrote a research proposal that was approved, got an IRB, and worked with a team of clinical staff to execute the study. That’s generally what goes on at major academic research hospitals.

This is an assumption you are making that is not valid. Please do yourself a favor and look at some of the links that I have posted in this thread. What I am telling you is not a secret. Many people have been writing and talking about for many years.
- chaps 2y agoNot a constructive comment, but I'm gonna say it anyway: this conversation is perfectly frustrating to watch. Thank you both.
- iancmceachern 2y agoYes, but this is a specific use case. In your parent comment you asked me why I don't just go do that. I said that would be illegal (because I'm not a researcher). You assume everyone is a researcher? You assume that all medical systems operate like research institutions? You assume that because your research institution is providing sub standard care by loosing and not tracking vital patient data that is needed for their quality of care that every other caregiver does the same? The world of Healthcare is far far bigger than research....
