The Evolution of Medicine

"I have an earache."

300 BC:  Eat this root.

700 AD:  That root is pagan, say this prayer.

1750 AD:  That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.

1920 AD:  That potion is snake oil, take this pill.

1950 AD:  That pill is useless, take this antibiotic.

1998 AD:  That germ is resistant to that antibiotic, eat this root.
