Kirurgen Paolo Macchiarini åtalas för grov misshandel efter misslyckade operationer

Nu har Röda Korset infört en särskild funktion för "whistleblowing". I organisationens uppförandekod finns en extern mejladress och telefonnummer som anställda kan kontakta anonymt om de misstänker att allt inte står rätt till. Informationen tas då emot av en extern revisionsfirma, som mejlar den vidare till Röda Korsets personalchef, men omskriven så att det inte framgår vem den kom ursprungligen kom ifrån. För säkerhets skull får även en medlem i styrelsen en kopia. Hon kan senare försäkra sig om att ledningen följt upp ärendet ordentligt.

lf we have a closer look at the publication in Lancet 2011, we see in figure 1 the
transplantation procedure being described, namely the surgery and the stem cell incubator. ln
figure 2 histological exams are shown, a standard analysis, and measurements from the blood
samples of the patient. Note that these measurements completely lack error bars, there are
thus no controls or additional duplicates [from hypothetical additional patients]. And in the
last original figure, figure 3, we again see measurements from the blood samples
demonstrating which cell types that could be found in the blood, levels of some protein
precursors (mRNA) along with our analysis of protein (histone) modifications.

There are no error bars, there are no controls, there are no cohorts, there are no reproduced
experiments [which had required additional patients], and there are no hypothesis or similar
that are the basis to refer to this to scientific medical research. This is a translational case
report with a new stem cell based surgical technique (proof-of-concept) and a more
sophisticated analysis of the blood samples rather than 'tedimentation rate" or other.

This publication is thus not to refer to as medical research formally. lf this in the future are to
be referred to as science, all MDs that try a new treatment, combination, or variant, perhaps in
emergence and then take blood samples afterwards, can be reported, and everybody who
makes a single observation can call themselves scientists.
