Something about her career

I reassessed this article to stub status, because it contains almost nothing about her career. Punkmorten (talk) 13:11, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Is it really to put what the Doctor said in German?--Vowman (talk) 14:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Re-write of article

I feel that the sentence "According to TIME magazine, Dressel had a very laissez-faire attitude about medication:" needs some re-writing. Though the sentence functions in terms of conveying a messsage; it seems wilfully obtuse, as if the author/typist has decided to shoe-horn in some 'word of the day'. It's all well and good that you are very clever for understanding the phrase, but it seems poorly placed on wikipedia. Phrases, words, like "laid back" or "relaxed" work equally well, and does not require the casual, uneducated or intellectually challenged, reader to look up 'laissez-faire' in the dictionary... (And observe, I use plenty of pseudo-intellectual lingo here, as it is Not an W-article)

I won't remove it cause I'm a nice guy, and won't edit as of yet, as I don't want to step on any toes... But it should be considered. This could me digested together with the possible removal of the German parentheses.
