Operation Research?

Let's call it... research. Yeah that's the ticket.

A doctor specializing in infectious diseases at a local Worcester MA hospital said he was just “gathering information” when he was arrested by police this weekend for allegedly offering to pay for sex from an undercover officer posing as a prostitute. The doctor, who is also a professor at a local medical school, allegedly pulled up to the undercover officer in the area of Tainter Street in the Main South section of the city Saturday afternoon and offered to pay the woman $40 for sex, according to police reports.

Now I'm no medical expert, but don't hospitals and colleges have lab facilities for research? And if they are going to do field work, isn't there forms and criteria to be met to be considered true medical research? Also aren't participates and subjects paid for there time by check and not in cash?

Well, like I said, I'm not expert in this field but I would like to see his expense report for his "information gathering". Mostly because I am curious if either the hospital or college does reimbursement for this kind of personal field research.
