His being let go from JAMA was very controversial at the time. A number of people disagreed with the arguments used to justify his firing, namely that publishing a study on the varying definitions of “had sex” right around the time of the Monica Lewinsky scandal amounted to dragging JAMA into the political debate inappropriately and that the study was outside the proper scope of JAMA.

Ha ha, so the process continues if anyone dares to suggest that the current orthodoxy may be wrong, then your job is to try to ruin their reputation. Nice One.Congratulations for confirming everything I already thought about the policicization of wiki editng. Those who set up wiki would be turning in their graves to discover the extent to which it is now failing its remit.
All from some faceless guy who appears to be able to hide behind anonimity . Shocking truly shocking . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amandazz100 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
@Amandazz100: can you explain why you are repeatedly trying to add a link to Malcolm Kendrick's blog? [1]. It is nothing more than link spam. George D. Lundberg has had a long career and holds a diversity of opinions and has cited many different researchers on different occasions, there is no reason why a single mention of Kendrick's blog in a Medscape article he wrote needs to be mentioned on his Wikipedia biography.

Your repeated attempts to remove Dr Kendrick speak to your own biases. Please make clear who you are and who you represent.

@Strikerforce:, @EEng:, @JzG:, @Bradv: etc this is another conspiracy theorist from Malcolm Kendrick's blog, also spamming the Diabetes mellitus article. I am too tired to deal with this. Skeptic from Britain (talk) 18:50, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
Are there better sources for these statements? Remember, we depend on information written about the subject, not information written by the subject. Bradv🍁 20:03, 9 December 2018 (UTC)Lundberg has criticized alternative medicine as unsupported by scientific evidence.[1]
In 2018 Lundberg further criticised mainstream buisess of all kinds for its supposed contribution to the diabetes and obesity epidemic [2]

![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
After the introductory sentence, I propose replacing the existing text with a different introduction (and after this is hopefully approved, I will propose adding other sections such as Education, Work, etc.). The old text (which, as you can see, is incorporated into the proposed new text) is: "For seventeen years, Lundberg served as editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). In 1999, Lundberg was fired from this position after attempting to publish a controversial article on how college students define oral sex. The article coincided with President Clinton's impeachment trial.[2] Executives from the American Medical Association stated that the article had nothing to do with medicine and it jeopardized the high standard of the journal.[3] Lundberg from February 1999 to January 2009, was the editor of Medscape.[4] He currently serves as an editor-at-large for the site.[5]"
The proposed new text to go in place of the existing text, which now includes additional reliable documentation, would read as follows (please note again that (a) I am NOT eliminating the existing text but only expanding upon it, and (b) I have changed existing wording very slightly to reflect that the controversial article was not ATTEMPTED to be published but that it actually WAS published, including a link to the article itself):
PROPOSED NEW TEXT:
Edit request

---|
For seventeen years, from 1982 to 1999, Lundberg served as editor in chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), followed by a decade (February 1999 to January 2009) as editor in chief of Medscape [1], where he has served as editor at large for the site since 2013 [2]. Lundberg is currently president and chair of the Lundberg Institute, which presents annual lectures in collaboration with the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco [3]. Lundberg was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 1992 [4]. In 1999 Lundberg was fired from his position at JAMA after publishing a controversial article [5] on how college students define oral sex. The article coincided with President Clinton's impeachment trial [6]. Executives from the American Medical Association stated that the article had nothing to do with medicine and that it jeopardized the high standard of the journal [7]. Lundberg’s work has comprised four phases: (1) Government service (US Army, LTC, Vietnam Era, in Los Angeles), (2) Academia (University of Southern California and University of California, Davis), (3) Not-for-profit publishing (American Medical Association), and (4) For-profit and not-for-profit sectors, including Medscape from WebMD [8]. These venues also have included MedPage Today from Everyday Health [9]; CollabRx (chief medical officer and editor in chief) [10]; Self Care Catalysts [11]; Cancer Commons (editor in chief) [12]; Cureus (executive advisor) [13]; the Lundberg Institute (president and board chair); the Curious Dr. George Blog (through the Lundberg Institute, editor in chief) [14]; and PotentiaMetrics [15]. As of 2020, Lundberg continues his work through several of these same venues. He has recently acted as consulting professor of pathology and health research and policy at Stanford University [16], sits on the medical advisory board of Cancer Commons [17] and on the board of visitors at the University of Alabama at Birmingham [18], and is clinical professor of pathology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine [19].
