Brief history of Medicine OT

[Guest guest]

I thought we needed a good laugh for the day, or a realization of how our meds have changed. Sharon L. Schuckman sharupac@... A Brief History of Medicine2000 BC: Here, eat this root 1000 AD: That root is heathen. Say this prayer. 1850 AD: That prayer is pure superstition. Here, drink this potion. 1940 AD: That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill. 1985 AD: That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic. 2000 AD: That antibiotic doesn't work anymore.

Here, eat this root. 2005 AD: Take this pill. It will either cure you or kill you. Useless Medical AdviceA patient was waiting nervously in the examination room of a famous specialist. "So who did you see before coming to me?" asked the doctor. "My local General Practitioner." "Your GP?" scoffed the doctor. "What a waste of time. Tell me, what sort of useless advice did he give you?" "He told me to come and see you."
