Doesn���t Apply to Me
DURING A HEATED discussion, the chairman at my old employer grew exasperated with me. ���Rules are meant for other people, not me,��� he snapped.
I had no idea how prevalent that attitude was���until recently. It seems some hospitals and drug companies also feel that the rules don���t apply to them.
There have been articles in The Wall Street JournaI about a new rule that went into effect requiring hospitals to show how much they charge for procedures. Many have chosen to ignore the rule, while others have complied, but made it next to impossible to find the information on their website.
Similarly, in what Chemical and Engineering News calls ���an unprecedented action,��� Acceleron Pharma has decided that the rules for clinical trials don���t apply to the company. Its results from a trial are overdue by three years and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is threatening fines.
What���s going on here? It seems more and more people are deciding the rules don���t apply to them. What if we all started behaving that way?
