I really loved this piece. Such a touching reflection on lessons learned from your grandfather, who must have been a really amazing and intelligent man.
I was expecting you to go full on Rolling Stones, "Time is on my side (yes, it is)." But in any case, your point is well taken. I think we are far too often pushed by the media science writers who promote studies as "breakthroughs" and "blockbusters," without the foresight necessary to properly assess the actual efficacy or long term value of a given medication or intervention and provide the appropriate caution. Perhaps a combination of Bobby Scott's fine SubStack & your always recommended Substack should do the trick!
Thank you, Jimmy. I hate sadistics but loved your story and framing.
Thanks for the shoutout, James!
