Susan Wood
Susan Wood was the director of the FDA's Office of Women's Health, and you should all toast to her tonight:
"I can no longer serve as staff when scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated and recommended for approval by the professional staff here, has been overruled," wrote Wood, who also was assistant commissioner for women's health. "The recent decision announced by the Commissioner about emergency contraception, which continues to limit women's access to a product that would reduce unintended pregnancies and reduce abortions, is contrary to my core commitment to improving and advancing women's health."
It's good to see someone with integrity stand up when poor politics beats out good science and good medicine.
