Ugh!

So I was working with our research group and submitted an RO1 gant to the
NIH looking at a proposed mechanism for vein graft failure (vs arteries).
The grant did not even get scored on the primary comment that "

*we shouldn't study saphenous veins since they are not used clinically
anymore*".  So according to whoever at the NIH reviewed this - not only are
there no vein bypasses being performed, but this is obviously not even a
problem worth studying......
