...The History of Medicine ... (joke - or maybe not)


I have an ear ache.

3000 BC :   Eat this root.
300 BC:    That root is heathen, say this incantation.
1800 AD:  That incantation is superstition, drink this potion.
1910 AD:  That potion is snake oil, take this pill
1950 AD:  That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.
2000 AD: That antibiotic is artificial, eat this root.
