Can we quickly alter our health care system so that we can discover
new medical breakthrough therapies and make them rapidly available
to patients? The answer to this critical question is a resounding
"Yes " Dr. Stephen L. DeFelice has put forth his creative solution
to this critical problem through conferences, talks, articles,
books and the efforts of his Foundation for Innovation in Medicine,
FIM. His solution has yet to catch on so its tremendous promise
remains to be fulfilled. But things may be about to change
dramatically. Dr. DeFelice's answer seems simple at first-perhaps
too simple. It's called "Doctornauts," the term he coined to
describe physicians who can more easily volunteer for clinical
studies than the rest of us. These physician-volunteers can be the
subjects in clinical trials that the general public cannot
participate in because of legal and ethical concerns. Doctornauts
has the potential to help patients all over America--immediately
and immensely. This book tells the story of Dr. DeFelice and of his
life-long passion, not only to prevent and treat illness, but also,
to conquer disease through his innovative approach to increasing
medical discovery and improving medical treatment. Perhaps the
single most important aspect of the Doctornaut concept becomes
evident when it is understood who it will most help-you
