Abstract
For some time now, critical care research has had a dirty secret, albeit not one well kept. Our epidemiologic work was most feasible if we prospectively collected data after patients had already declared themselves to be critically ill. Our animal models were most feasible if we took healthy young mammals and then, at a time convenient for us, ligated and punctured their cecum or instilled bacteria into their trachea.
