[edit] First clinical trial
This is interesting: the book I'm reading claims James Lind's 1747 study to be the first ever clinical trial, yet Clinical trial#History says that the methodology was first published in 1020. It's possible that no trials were actually conducted in the intervening 700 years, but I guess assuming so would be synthesis. Until someone finds a source that claims otherwise, I've given Lind credit for the first trial (and cited my source). --jwandersTalk 00:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
