Fraud
摘要
Jack Stone was just an average resident. There was something “not right” with him. He met all of the metrics of the Core Competencies except for communication. Jack was a loner and did not give it his best shot when talking to his patients. He graduated without any distinctions. His superior knowledge of anesthesiology earned him a position in the pain management fellowship at St. Christopher’s. Steve Craft, the editor of the IARS journal, noticed that there were too many peer-reviewed papers on PUBMED authored by Jack Stone in a very short period of time. It was more than suspicious. Jack published 21 papers on chronic pain; all backed by drug companies. All of the papers recommended algorithms to treat chronic pain.
