An anonymous blog posting has got him riled up:
Arbesfeld included in his e-mail a comment on a blog posting, originally published in the Wall Street Journal, that accuses Nissen of primarily criticizing manufacturers that do not support drug trials at the Cleveland Clinic: “Wake up, pharmaceutical companies “¦ if you don’t hire the Cleveland Clinic for your big trials then you face the firing squad from Nissen and Company.” The comment’s author is identified only as “Brian A.”Nissen calls the anonymous blogger’s accusation an example of “the big lie.” “The idea that I would somehow be selective in my criticism to those companies that don’t bring clinical trials [to the Cleveland Clinic] is “¦ extremely offensive “¦ and absolutely untrue.”
