Okay, it's not as big a deal as actually getting a "Letter to the Editor" published in Scientific American, but Mr. Leonhardt responded to my letter to the NYT. (An expanded version is here.) They've changed "virus" to "infection" on the website. ("Bacteria" would have been better, in my opinion. But, let's face it: I'm not getting paid to write, am I?)
No comment on the "When Doctors Get It Wrong" angle.
Small steps. I know someone read my concerns about P4P, the attitude that docs are only out for the money and that misdiagnosis and "unnecessary tests" are due to a lack of pain on our part. (The "doctors don't go down with the ship" comment.)
