YATSASS: Dr. Ann H. Partridge - Perhaps Publish AND Perish is Appropriate

Study on People in Studies Yields Predictable Answers, But Also Raises New Questions

"People who participate in clinical studies are interested in how the trials turn out, results of a small pilot study suggest."

Great! I never would have guessed. I mean, I guess I just always thought they would. Silly me, there was a study to be done.

Congratulations Dr. Partridge, you've earned the first new YATSASS award in quite some time. Now here's a topic for your next study: Do The People Studied in the Study on People Wanting the Results of Studies Want That Study's Results?

Consider well, Dr., that handled carefully, this subject could just be a life annuity. Please let us know the results. Oh, no! Wait! I didn't say that! You need to figure out whether or not we really want to know, right?
