A Short History of Medicine

"Doctor, 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."
2000 A.D. -- "That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root!"
