An anesthesiologist has set the record... for most data fabricated.

Hoping his work wasn't cited much...

Too tired to do a search right now.

Probably happened in anesthesia because the academic climate has been suffering for some time. Fewer people critically reading the journals, or repeating studies.

Academic climate - is polluted badly!

I've come to the conclusion that about 75% of the reseach done is garbage from the articles I've read in Anesthesia and Analgesia. Seems like a lot of these guys don't know basic statistics.

There was some Anesthesia clown a few years ago at Baystate Medical Center who thought fabricating data was a good way to bring in clinical money from the NIH.

Yep, thanks for reminding me of his name. I went to a lecture by him and questioned a result. He blew me off. He had that fake confidence type of personality I despise. I hope the aba stripped him of his board status. There needs to be a focus on professionalism.

He also spent 6 months in Federal prison and 3 years of supervised release. Plus over $400,000 in fines.

That's good to know. Wondering how the Japanese will deal with this guy.
