This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful that my project appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association this week. Though it was unfortunate that I was not one of the co-authors. In fact, none of the docs I worked with were listed. Because we didn't write the paper. We had just been working on the same project since this spring, ignorant of their work, and about 6 months behind.
Whitecastle: It's the exact same study, they looked at the same fields, included about 240 in the analysis.
Moi: That's funny, we were looking at 240.
Whitecastle: Our study could've been published in JAMA.
Query (to me): At least we hadn't gotten to the analysis yet. So it's mostly your time that we've wasted.
Moi: This is hilarious.
Whitecastle: You could look at it that way, yes.
(we both laugh, loudly and at times uncomfortably)
Whitecastle: I'm glad you're laughing at this.
Moi: I'm afraid to stop.
