Not Just a River in Egypt
Yesterday's email contained an invite to the Thursday evening event at next week's CRT 2007 interventional cardiology meeting in DC -- a 75 minute symposium, sponsored by Boston Scientific, and titled "Drug Eluting Stents: The Safety, Practicality & Evolution".

The thrust of this somewhat ungrammatically titled presentation is to communicate the latest DES safety data to the audience of physicians, and to counter the negative headlines that have been dogging Boston Scientific (and Cordis) for the past six months.

That would explain why, "immediately following" the DES session, the audience will be entertained by "An Evening with Bob Woodward", in which the WaPo reporter will discuss his recent book on the Iraq War:

"A State of Denial"

As if there weren't enough literary faux pas for one evening, the brochure directs attendees to register for the symposium at:

'Nuff said.
