Catch-22
Yossarian is trying to understand why his friend Doc Daneeka won't ground anyone. Yossarian suggests his roommate Orr as an example:
"Is Orr crazy?"
"He sure is," Doc Daneeka said.
"Can you ground him?"
"I sure can. But first he has to ask me to. That's part of the rule."
"Then why doesn't he ask you to?"
"Because he's crazy," Doc Daneeka said. "He has to be crazy to keep flying combat missions after all the close calls he's had. Sure, I can ground Orr. But first he has to ask me to."
"That's all he has to do to be grounded?"
"That's all. Let him ask me."
"And then you can ground him?" Yossarian asked.
"No, then I can't ground him."
"You mean there's a catch?"
"Sure there's a catch," Doc Daneeka replied. "Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy. . . ."
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he [Yossarian] observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

California Questions AZ Patients' Ability to Give Informed Consent
“Early diagnosis extends quality of life,” says an ad by Dung Trinh, an Orange County physician, on the website of a program for seniors at Mount of Olives Church in Mission Viejo.
Trinh offers free memory tests and personalized recommendations based on the results. He gives scores of lectures a year at assisted living homes, senior centers, churches and Rotary Clubs in Southern California, telling audiences how they can keep their memories sharp. He describes himself as a medical missionary and “healthy brain” expert........

......Tarsis Lopez, an Eli Lilly spokesperson, said that the drug company’s research is subject to review by an independent institutional review board, which must approve trial protocols and consent documents........
.......Aaron Kesselheim, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said scientists performing the studies need to make sure patients with memory problems understand the risks.
“This is a population that may not fully understand the consent process,” Kesselheim said. “The investigator needs to be very careful to make sure people know what they are getting involved with.”
