So, let me get this strait. The FDA official in charge of women's health disagrees with policy and protests by resigning. She gives up a really good, high paying job. Guess who they replace her with. Oh my, this is too rich. Alert John Stewart. It's like a huge, terrible, darkly comedic, punchline. If only it weren't true.

FDA Names Special Health Issues Director As Acting Women's Health Director
22 Sep 2005
FDA on Friday named Theresa Toigo, director of the agency's Office of Special Health Issues, acting director of the Office of Women's Health, the Washington Post reports. The announcement comes three days after the agency sent an e-mail notice to women's groups and others announcing the appointment to the post of Norris Alderson, the agency's associate commissioner for science, who has spent much of his career in FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, (Kaufman, Washington Post, 9/20). Toigo replaces Susan Wood, former director of the women's health office, who late last month resigned from the agency in protest of its action to indefinitely defer a decision on Barr Laboratories' application for nonprescription sales of its emergency contraceptive Plan B. Wood, a biologist, had served as assistant FDA commissioner for women's health since 2000 (Kaiser Daily Reproductive Health Report, 9/1). Toigo has a bachelor's degree in pharmacy and a master's degree in business from Rutgers University (FDA release, 9/16). Wood said Toigo is "a very capable and dedicated person who will do an excellent job." Alderson was not mentioned in FDA's statement regarding Toigo's appointment.
