I don't think it's too fair to be so hard on Dr. Doe regarding his inability to share medication info on the internet. There are a LOT of legal remifications of doing that, some as extreme as losing his license. Whenever something goes wrong in medicine, the first thing people want to do is sue the doctor. He has to take precautions to protect and maintain his ability to help others. Clinical trials are great and the info they produce is valuable, however, there is a LOT of legal disclaimers, waivers, etc. that the law requires. Cheers to the good doc for caring enough to share the info. I'd hate to see him lose his license because we are too impatient. Knowing how rare it is to find a doctor who cares, we need all the medical doctors on our side that we can get!! :o)
