Abstract

In his time with the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology and before, Dr. Alvan Feinstein espoused a philosophy of the study of epidemiology as a beneficial, valid science. Not only was Feinstein somewhat of a nonconformist in the field of epidemiology, he had a self-denigrating sense of humor as well. This sense of humor can be showcased by taking a look at one of the articles he approved for publication, which could be retitled as "The Finster Saga."
