Authentication/Validation/Verification/Argument

Vasopressin is a hormone which is responsible for urine concentration.

  1. Er. Tripathi, The above view is confirmed by another doctor who has done MRCP from Glasgow and Edinburg, that R is not correct expalantion.

    Let us do one more thing. I am on forums of such teachers who enjoy indulging in such teasers with the idea how to get right presenation for the student. Let me put this query to them and see what sources and arguements they get for us.

    Another source is Harrison book on clinical Pathology. Let me consult that book also.

    Another source can be questions for PG enterance test and Plan on Rx.

    Let us explore all such sources and see what we learn about it.

    What expalnation does he give?

    What faults does he find in the expalantion?

    Does he accpet "R" as a correct statement as per the medical science?

    Kindly, answer.
