Coating on Aspirin Sets Off a Debate
Disputes over a study that found no evidence of aspirin resistance, attributing it to a common coating meant to protect the stomach lining.
"But the study essentially found that the condition doesn’t exist: they
could not document a single case of true aspirin resistance in their
sample. What had appeared to be aspirin resistance, they said, actually
was caused by the coating commonly used on aspirin pills intended to
protect the stomach. The coating slowed the drug’s absorption into the
body.
The study didn’t evaluate whether coated aspirin was less likely to
prevent heart attacks or strokes, said Dr. Garret FitzGerald, one of the
authors. And people who took the coated aspirin in his study eventually
showed a response to it."
The duty is "safe and effective"
It may be better for the gut.
They can't boast that it is better for the heart.

A Tense Compromise on Defining Disorders
The American Psychiatric Association’s board has approved the fifth edition of the association’s diagnostic manual, ending more than five years of controversy.
"From beginning to end, many experts said, the process of defining
psychiatric diagnoses is very much like finding the right one for an
individual: it’s a process of negotiation, in many cases.
“That’s one of the take-aways from all this, and I think it’s a good
one,” Dr. Carlson said. “A diagnosis is a hypothesis. It’s a start, and
you have to start somewhere. But that’s all it is.”
One of the committee’s most ambitious proposals was perhaps the least
noticed: a commitment to update the book continually, when there’s good
reason to, rather than once every decade or so in a giant heave. That
was approved without much fanfare."
Psychiatry is about drugs these days. Drugs disable. Often not a bad thing.
The art of manipulating others thought constructively is not yet practical.
Teaching tries to do it with limited success.
One of its problems is the definition of success.
"The job of a child is to be a child."
I thought it very good to miss Vietnam. I had no desire to shoot other people and no wish "to die for a mistake".
Congress is not generous with an army that can't do the impossible.
I did some sessions with a talking psychiatrist in the eighties.
He assured me that I was misdiagnosed in 1968.
Just one of the worried well in impossible circumstances.
The faithful do not learn.
