Dan Vorhaus recently had a great post about the FDA coming in to carpet bomb DTC now OTCGenomics.
But what I am pissed off about is everyone using the term gatekeeper connoting a doctor required to do something.
What the FCUK do you think I am? A gatekeeper is a lot like a door man.
I don't get your bags.
I don't just open the door for you.
I am not profiting from the test that is ordered.
I am saving your f'ing life.
Stop calling me GateKeeper and call me what I am.
Doctor. Sworn to save your life.

GateKeeper != Doorman
GateKeeper = Bouncer
A Doorman would actually open the door for me. You're more like a Bouncer, telling me I'm not cool enough to see what's inside.
Ok,
A bouncer connotes a low intellect meat head, which is why you may have picked it.
Further, it assumes you aren't cool enough to see it.
Why would I stop you from seeing your As/Gs/Ts and Cs.
NEVER would that be the case.
But, if you want medical care, yes come to me and I will give you medical care including diagnosis and counseling.
How is a medical diagnosis not medical care?
I am not a butler. I am an extremely skilled professional with nearly a decade of training.
I save lives. Seriously people. What don't you get about that?
I want you healthy and well. When you are well, I can sleep at night instead being up in an ICU titrating a levophed drip and weaning you from a ventilator.
I can (mostly) understand your emotion about this, but maybe you should be a little more explicit about who you're directing your anger at. The Genomic Law Report doesn't seem to use the word gatekeeper as far as I can tell. Or are you talking about comments to that blog?
No, I'm like the bouncer, but really, more like university admissions.
