I just wonder what kind of support the board members get, especially IRB panel members. They have a very difficult job. I'm sure that hearing the difficult stories people tell them day in and out must be very draining and demanding on them. I've heard from some folks who work in the field that they're often concerned about the people hearing the cases, just because of the difficulty of what they listen to day in and day out.
