Modern Day Medicine

Oh good gravy!

well, that's better than leeches I guess?

I think this woman in the article says it best...

How did they feel? On day 2, when the maggots were fat, 'I could feel them moving, because they were ready to come out,' she recalls. But, 'if you're faced with amputation or the maggots, I think most people would try the maggots.'

Did my tax dollars come up with that or was it privately funded??

I agree. I just found it so interesting that they actually still use leeches and maggots. What's more interesting is that with all the modern marvels mother nature still raines supreme.

No offense, but there are very few things that schkeeve me to the point where I want to hurl...one of them is stuff crawling underneath one's skin.... I couldn't even watch the Mummy

they use leeches too? I didn't read the whole articel. I agree with that quote though. It is nasty, but, it beats amputation.

Exactly. As a former pharma advertising exec, I've seen more than enough creative spin on some of these modern miracles to realize that sometimes it's not a bad idea to consider the old-fashioned way of curing what ails.
