View Full Version : A Brief History of Medicine
Here’s one of those wonderful little pieces that float through cyberspace. No-one knows who wrote it, but we all wish we could take credit for it!
A Brief History of Medicine
"I have an earache...."
2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.
2003 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial! Here, eat this root.
(There's no need to rewrite this one :D)

It proves the circle of life. That everything comes in cycle. Ashes to ashes, dusts to dusts. Root to root.:happy0069::music-smiley-7524::happy0069:
