Via Billmon. This is more rage inducing than normal. John Hopkins medical has been helping coal companies win suits in black lung cases by diagnosing black lung as TB or fungal infections. . http://www.publicintegrity.org/2013/10/30/13637/johns-hopkins-medical-unit-rarely-finds-black-lung-helping-coal-industry-defeat
Where autopsies have been performed after death or biopsies during life "not black lung" diagnosis has usually been found to be wrong. So basically John Hopkins is selling its reputation to coal companies to screw sick miners. I normally think of myself as pretty hardened, but this gets to me. -- Facebook: Gar Lipow Twitter: GarLipow Solving the Climate Crisis web page: SolvingTheClimateCrisis.com Grist Blog: http://grist.org/author/gar-lipow/ Online technical reference: http://www.nohairshirts.com
