Of course nurses can be more in touch with reality than doctors; they spend a lot more time with patients. But, I can all but guarantee she doesn't know any more about the prospects for stem cell research than regular readers of this list. How could she? Medical professionals are not the same as research scientists, they know about established treatments but not so much about treatments in development or about science. They can read articles online, just like everyone on the list, but they don't usually have access to secret information that the public doesn't have access to. Once in a while they might be involved in a clinical trial, but that would be pretty rare. I don't want to knock your nurse, she sounds like a great find(!), but people on this list should realize that you know a lot more than most of the rest of the world about stem cell research, thanks to the people that send the relevant articles out. Unfortunately, what we know is that we don't know a whole lot ;) On 12/1/06, Amanda Phillips <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > We talked for some 45 minutes, she did seem well up on the subject, & > showed > me some handy stretching exercises, plus she didn't try to sell me a > miracle > cure theory. > I wonder if a nurse, tho less highly trained ,may not be more firmly > attached > to reality than some doctors ? > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto: > [log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
