14. Paul Marik wasted his gravitas and position in critical care Medicine

Once considered a compelling authority at ICU conferences around the world, things took an odd turn a few years before the pandemic. He published a non-randomized study on the benefits of high dose Vitamin C and steroids for septic shock. It got a lot of good attention and spurred other ICU researchers to try to replicate his findings of an absurd benefit in survival. But Marik himself refused to repeat the study as a double blinded randomized control trial, which would have been a more convincing level of evidence. And he just became this stubborn old man from then on transforming to a dangerous stubborn old man who wants to stick it to the medicine “elites” he was once a member of. Once upon a time he made amazing contributions to pulmonary critical care medicine, now he will be remembered as a stubborn crazy old man who wouldn’t listen, similar ending to James Watson of Watson and Crick.
