OP (edit: submitter) has zero comment history and appears to have only submitted his own articles [1]. Not damning, but a red flag.

We all had a story or something that motivated us to register and comment.

I've heard everything he's said before from other people in trauma medicine. (but there are also people who will stick up for the Quickclot type stuff!) It's not my field and I'm not in a position to judge. I will say that I share his view that the article reads like something written by a PR flack.

I believe he was referring to the submitter.

Thank you. My mistake.

So what? There's no rule that says you have to comment. There's no rule that I know of against submitting your own stuff.

If you're writing quality articles (which this is) and submitting OC, then that's a good thing.
