What a joke. Can't believe that people like this can get a job after all the nonsense that he's done. Oh well, it looks like business as usual for UM. Great job, President Shalala.

His ire (it seems reasonable to me, but that's a value judgment) was probably not just at the questions asked, but at the tide of culture, implied by those questions, that led him to resign. Academia and health care are both increasingly in the hands of nincompoops; my hat is off to anyone who remains at the pinnacle of both for long. The only person in this list who provides some evidence of needing psychiatric treatment is Izzy. The ones who wish to prescribe meds for Dr. Nemeroff without meeting him, based on his slight ire at what sound like idiotic questions, could use at least a good talking to. Maybe they just need to get laid. Emory and a generation of physicians are the losers, as Dr. Nemeroff steps down.

This is / would be to show all above board and would help clear up this psychiatry issue which gives the public the view someone appeared blind when not. Transparentcy would help reputation. Bet next will be patient concerns.

Please take a look at the main page of the Pharmalot site. Looks like the NY Times got hold of the same e-mail - or maybe they read it tonight on Pharmalot, which actually appears on the health page of the paper's web site every day - and inserted a line in their earlier story as an update. Notice the Times used the word 'tonight' in connection with his move. In any event, thanks for stopping by. Cheers ed Hi Izzy,

Perhaps Dr. Scully can persuade Dr. Schatzberg to resign as president-elect of the APA.

However, the Senate and House are being extremely 2-faced on this issue. They are attempting to purge healthcare and medicine from financial and other conflicts of interest. On the other hand they are asking us to support a $700 billion bailout for the financial industry when the main players (from both parties) in this effort have accepted hundred of thousands of dollars from the financial industry and their lobbyists. Congress must live by the same expectations they expect us to live by. As a pharmacist, academician, and researcher, I believe Dr Nemeroff’s failure to disclose these funds is in excusable.
