Huffpost: “During the 4,000-year history of medicine, doctors have done terrible things to patients. We gave them arsenic and mercury; we bled them; we made them vomit, and we gave them laxatives; we made them hot, and we made them cold. A lot of this was nonsense, sometimes dangerous and even deadly. You would expect that eventually patients would catch on and learn to avoid doctors, but most didn’t. Many got better despite the dreadful treatments and felt only gratitude.”
