Sunday, January 15, 2006A Norwegian cancer expert made up fictitious patients for an article about treatment of oral cancer published in a leading medical journal, the hospital said on Sunday. Sudbo, 44, invented patients and case histories for a study of oral cancer that was published in the British medical journal the Lancet in October 2005, she said. The Norwegian daily Dagbladet said that 250 of his sample of 908 people in the study all shared the same birthday. He must have gotten confused and thought he was writing a memoir. His employer is also investigating the veracity of work he had published in The New England Journal of Medicine. posted by Sydney on 1/15/2006 03:10:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
