"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and 9/11: What's surprising about this is that symptoms of PTSD were not higher than they were. There was only a 20% incidence of symptoms of the disorder in the population living closest to the World Trade Center. That's admittedly higher than the average, but I would have expected much larger numbers with such a horror. I think it's a testimony to the resilience of the human soul (or maybe I should say the New Yorker soul) that the percentage was so low. posted by Sydney on
