I wrote that last post [that track record…] last night after a long clinic day. I guess I’m afraid that people will forget the Nemeroff saga – because they have in the past. After he was busted internally at Emory for unreported drug company income in 2004, Emory forgot. After he was fired as editor of Neuropsychopharmacology, Emory forgot. It took a Senate Investigation to get him censured and defrocked, but he wasn’t fired. Within a year, he was hired at Miami. I guess they forgot too, just like Emory had. Well, maybe I needn’t worry about this epidemic of forgetting Dr. Nemeroff’s past anymore. This morning, my Google Alerts had an email with this:

Thanks for the update. It seems as if Charles Nemeroff has a contagious ability for turning (otherwise) smart people into offenders. It appears, that in the face of a flurry of complaints by UM professors to Miss Shalala for allowing Nemeroff to become Chair of Psychiatry, she casually responded to a Professor (who wrote a longer message): “”Actually yours is the only [note] I have received. Thanks for your views.”
MIss Shalala, that was a LIE and I wish that you were taken into Court and be asked the question under oath. You will not be able to respond: “I don’t recall” because there are e-mails. So, you only have two choices: a) apologize for your untruthful and inappropriate behavior or b) to become a perjuror.
It seems as if your years as HHS Secretary did teach you very little about health care and the sufferings of so many people in this country. What a leader!.
