If no reviewer is found, then editor should review her/himself.
Replying to @SalmantonGarcia
It is. For those who act as Editor: What if none of 20 invited reviewers is willing to review the manuscript? Or how to handle manuscripts of which the authors/corresponding authors apparently always deny review invitations?

Not to nitpick how people feel about @theliverdoc's responses, let me say this from personal experience. When you see something that kills your patients, not for their ignorance or mistakes, but because of pseudoscience, it eats you from within. He is a doctor, someone who 1/n

The intention behind the second point is that 'what you (not I) may consider as rude is, in fact, a common behavior among scientists. they are direct and their comments are evidence-based.' :)

This is Indian Army dog Kent, a six-year-old labrador of the 21 Army Dog Unit. Today she laid down her life while shielding its handler during the operation in J&K. She was leading a column of soldiers on the trail of fleeing terrorists. Not all heroes wear capes. : Army

Should we use high or low dose steroids for #sarcoidosis? The answer is low-dose. A beautiful presentation today @ERS2023 by Dhooria et al. 20mg/d is more than sufficient. #lessismore when it comes to #steroids in #sarcoidosis. bit.ly/3XKZLvh

This is Sir Frederick Banting. He discovered insulin in 1923. But he refused to put his name on the patent. Why? Because Banting felt it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save lives. But pharmaceutical companies made huge financial offers to Banting for the patent, knowing they could make billions. They even sweetened the deal, offering an insulin clinic, with Sir Banting in charge... a temping offer to almost doctor in his position. Banting, however, said his discovery of isolated insulin was a gift to mankind. He felt this critical medicine should be available to everyone who needed it. In 1923, Banting was just 31 years old when he was awarded the Nobel Prize. Tragically, in 1941 while flying on a plane to personally protect scientific secrets from the Nazis, his plane crashed. He was killed. Banting's co-inventors, in his honor, sold the patent for insulin to the University of Toronto for the appropriate sum they thought appropriate – one dollar. Today, 30 million Americans with diabetes rely on his gift to mankind. To honor Sir Frederick Banting, it should remain a gift to mankind.

Huge genetic variation in pseudomonas isolated from patients with bronchiectasis which is linked to bacterial behaviour We need to think about variation in the bug as well as the patient for assessment /endotyping More data from the EMBARC study #ERSCongress @beccahull_

If this is how doctors want end of life to look like for themselves, why do they choose differently for patients in their care?
