The New England Journal of Medicine, in an attempt to keep up with the times, has recently begun releasing articles of a certain import online prior to their publishing in the actual hard copy journal.  Cool, I say.  Today in my inbox, though, I got a link to an editorial entitled, “Intensifying Platelet Inhibition – Navigating between Scylla and Charybdis.”  Now I love Greek mythology as the next guy, but come on – the editors must have been smoking something when they let this title get by.  I know this is a top-flight academic journal, and I know this is “only” an editorial, but a title like reeks of the sort of pomp and self-importance that permeates only the highest of ivory towers.  Smells an awful lot like cheese, too.

Link to the editorial here.
