"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.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Good Point: A BMJ reader points out the irony of the medical profession's fear of miniscule risk:
I beg to remain sceptical of the claim that small exposures to other people's tobacco smoke cause large increases in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. If we are to espouse such fundamental theories of Homeopathy, surely we should go the whole hog and embrace this rogue discipline in its entirety. If like cures like, then small amounts of environmental tobacco smoke may in fact be good for you. posted by Sydney on
