Worth your time

D.C. Diagnosis
Nicholas Florko

Worth your time

When ProPublica journalist Marshall Allen was given a "Top Doctor" award, he started digging and uncovered a shady industry that sells vanity plaques to just about any doctor — or journalist — with the money. — Ike Swetlitz

It’s hard to imagine any of our D.C. readers weren’t glued to the Michael Cohen hearing last week — but I’ll still take a minute to flag this smart STAT story about Novartis, which once again got a spotlight at that hearing for hiring Cohen to get access to President Trump that it surely would have liked to avoid. — Erin Mershon

The New York Times story on “poop wars” has everything I want in an article: a cogent explanation of how FDA regulation is impacting pricing of medical treatments, a money trail connected to a crypticly named lobby group and one of the most elegant — if not haunting — turns of phrase to describe poop I’ve ever heard. — Nicholas Florko
Correction: Last week’s edition of D.C. Diagnosis incorrectly spelled the name of Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.).
