A neurologist is discussing a phase III trial of over 1500 participants, and saying how that number is impressive. When asked why he replies:

A.D.D. investigation


Explanation:
"I can also carry out an A.D.D. investigation, with 100 subjects, and one could say that I cannot accept such a thing"

I feel that the A.D.D. refers to attention deficit disorder only
