"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.

Falling: Could we prevent hip fractures in the elderly if we dressed them like football players? Evidently not:
In the intervention group, 18 hip fractures occurred vs 20 in the control group....In addition, the per protocol analysis in compliant participants did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups.
Just as well. It's hard enough to get people to use their canes or to wear unfashionable support stockings. Underwear that makes the hips look wider isn't likely to be popular, either. posted by Sydney on
