About myself:
Father of five daughters, interested in people, curious, loves black humor and intelligent discussions.
There is a saying about Pharmacovigilance by Sir Liam Donaldson, previous U.K. Chief Medical Officer, that also reflects my own attitude:
‘To err is human, to cover up is unforgivable, and to fail to learn is inexcusable.’
