readability scores

[Felice Albala <felice_albala -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Well, the company I was with at the time had (and still has) some *very* high-profile problems, but none that I know of stemmed from consent forms. As far as the consent forms I personally authored, it will be many years before the drug trial results and documentation will go to the FDA for review, so all I can do is hope I did my best for the company *and* the patients.

Did that work out during the time you were there?
