Lets be honest. If most ordinary working folk got a 4 day week job that would just be one extra day to find another job in so they might be able to make rent.

I think it depends on which type of Professor. If you have a personal chair, one that is specific to you then yes I think that ranks. If its an appointment to a chair then thats just a job so you might have administarial superiority but in practice you're just a Dr. But its all academic really.

Looking at the reports the problem seems to be that it doesn't work for enough patients to approve it, and approving it implies that it works for most. There should be a system that allows drugs to be prescribed if patients accept clear risks and efficacy concerns. Cost then becomes an issue too....
