HARLOT plc: an amalgamation of the world's two oldest professions

摘要

We, the authors, are tired of being good but poor, and have decided to sacrifice the former to overcome the latter We are therefore amalgamating the world's two oldest professions in a new company, HARLOT plc, that provides "cradle to (the patient's) grave" services that will maximise the profits of manufacturers of dodgy drugs and devices Cashing in on our years of clinical research experience and as yet untarnished reputations, we can protect your worthless product as we shepherd it through the minefields sewn by objective scientists, fussy ethics committees, conscientious journal editors, writers of evidence based guidelines, and licensing bodies As we work together to create shining examples of the seduction of science through HARLOTry, your gloss will be our gain.
