Avandia and the Nissen study

Stanley Feld takes Nissen to task:

Dr. Steven Nissen’s recent paper promotes the distrust of the medical profession and its regulators. The medical profession did not have a chance to evaluate this evidence before it was prejudged in the media. Dr. Nissen has been on network and public television and radio multiple times. Sensationalism in clinical research only serves to decrease the confidence of the public for the value of clinical research.
