In some Wal-Mart stores in the midwest you can go in for an oil change and a lube job. Guess this is something different.

Ed:
Interesting coincidence that the Bloomberg piece - “FDA may relax conflict of interest rules …” - appears on the same day as the your Avastin conflict follow-on post.

I can cite a readyn source form the parasitic Crohn’s worms. In one school of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in the country, PhD candidates are required to infect themselves with whatever parasite is the source for their research thesis. It provides a ready source of material. I know one of the professors who still teaches grad students. His opening line of his first lecture is still “feces is the bread and butter of the parasitologist”. I understand that the line still drawwss strange looks from the students even today.

And for any of you not sure where oii is coming from, as I wasn’t, refer to the Bloomberg piece on “gains some traction.”
