Peg,

I do not think you are alone in saying we must work with pharmas. It's a matter of where the dollars go. Much of it is not being spent on R & D. We aren't seeing results. I do understand your point about collaboration.

What if every time a trial was called off, our grassroots group had a team that would go in and inspect and investigate as to whether or not there was another way - and would make recommendations? I'm thiinking big, which we would have to build u p to - one step at a time.

is anyone following me or am I out on a limb alone?
