Check out this cartoon from the latest issue of The New Yorker.
Talk about competing financial interests! It’s a shame that the image is too small to see it in detail. So, try to get a hold of the print issue if you can.

All generalizations are wrong..including this one. I’m really surprised by such as trivial cartoon, offensive as reagards the large majority of physicians. I suggest to The New Yorker a more sensantionalist cartoon: the patient ask to his doctor, dressed in WHITE CLOTH: “Please, I’dd like be told if I am involved by Oncological Terrain, and possible INHERITED Oncological Real Risk in some Biological System”.
But this cartoon needs more The New Yorker FREEDOM than the first one.
Yeah, Dr. Stagnaro. That would be REALLY funny! Come to think of it, the New Yorker devotes a part of its website to rejected cartoons. So, it may not be too difficult for you to find a home for your idea.
And speaking about product placement, good plug for your “Oncological Terrain” stuff in your reply to this post, but what else is new, right?
