How (Not) to Communicate New Scientific Information: a Memoir of the Famous Brindley Lecture
“In 1983, at the Urodynamics Society meeting in Las Vegas, Professor G.S. Brindley first announced to the world his experiments on self-injection with papaverine to induce a penile erection. This was the first time that an effective medical therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) was described, and was a historic development in the management of ED. The way in which this information was first reported was completely unique and memorable, and provides an interesting context for the development of therapies for ED.”
Interesting memoir on Dr. Brindley’s lecture sent to me by my brother. I’m surprised I’d never heard of this before since it’s pretty hilarious.
