The researchers — Dr. Sylvia Asa, a pathologist, and her husband, Dr. Shereen Ezzat, an endocrinologist — have denied the finding of an internal review at the hospital where they work, University Health Network. The investigation concluded that some data were falsified in two articles Asa, Ezzat and colleagues published in the American Journal of Pathology in May and December of 2010. http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/top-toronto-doctors-alleged-to-have-falsified-research-data-1.3171475?cmp=rss&cid=news-digests-toronto If true, this is horrifying for medical research. Why anyone would do this is beyond my comprehension.

They don't listen to one, they have already decided in their experience what my problems are so I give up. I will look after myself. I know my body but falsifying studies is beyond contempt. Who can you trust, only yourself

His wife finally insisted he get another opinion, was referred to another neurologist who verified he'd been misdiagnosed. I don't know how they came by this info, as Drs. always cover one another, in my experience, however apparently first guy had alcohol problems!
