quote:Personally, I don't understand the vehemence of some people against it. I admit, it's not the greatest game I've played, but even if it's not your thing I don't see why some people hate it to such an extent. To Dolphin: You keep your three most valuable items when you die and everything else drops to the ground. If you die in a spot with little traffic it's possible to run back to the site of your death and pick up your items before some one else gets them. Also, other players can only attack you in the wilderness. It sounds like you may have actually bumped into an NPC. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

-Today's name, Antibiotics, is another example of a good treatment that's been horribly misused. You probably all know this story already: doctors prescribe antibiotics for colds to appease demanding patients, hospital floors are sprayed with antibiotic solutions instead of disinfectants, livestock are fed antibiotics even when healthy just to enhance their growth. Result: the most strongly antibiotic-resistant bacteria survive and reproduce best, and an increasing number of bacterial infections are resistant to such a wide range of antibiotics that they can't be effectively treated at all. The misuse of antibiotics is one of the greatest medical catastrophes of our time, and the effects are only going to get worse. And everybody and nobody is to blame.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test! INTJ 100% 75% 100% 44% Huzzah for the Masterminds! www.Keirsey.com for personality information. The Sloganizer!

-Today's name, Tonsillectomy, may come as a bit of a surprise to forumgoers, since people still routinely have their tonsils taken out. And while I'm not necessarily going to suggest banning it, it's a controversial procedure within the medical community, and there's no doubt that it was widely overused in the past. It's not all that long ago that a sore throat, especially in a child, was a good enough indication to take their tonsils out. And, like any operation, there were risks; occasionally, things went wrong and patients died. The clinical indications for performing a tonsillectomy have been sharply restricted in recent years, and some medical practitioners are seriously questioning whether tonsillectomy is ever indicated except in very rare cases. Nowadays, tonsils are only routinely removed if they are so swollen that a patient has difficulty breathing or swallowing.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

-Anyway, today's name, Salisbury Steak, is a kind of ground beef steak recommended by the late-19th-century physician James Salisbury. Dr Atkins had nothing on this guy; Salisbury believed all vegetables, fruits and starchy foods were harmful to the health and should be limited to a small fraction of the diet. His dietary recommendations included meat, meat, and meat, especially beef, with plenty of water and some coffee for variety. His recommendation for a meat-based diet didn't catch on, but Salisbury steak remains a part of our language, and a popular and tasty dish... in moderation.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

-Today's name, Structured Water, is a catchall term for a spate of water-related medical hucksterism that began in earnest with the polywater debacle of the late 1960s. A Soviet physicist during that time found that if water was passed through very narrow quartz tubes, it sometimes came out with unusual properties, including high viscosity and altered boiling and freezing points. Other researchers in the USSR, the UK and the USA found similar results, and for quite some time the generally accepted hypothesis was that this was because the water molecules in polywater had, of their own accord, stably arranged themselves in some unusual conformation. Eventually, as electron microscopy and other techniques were used to analyse polywater more carefully, it was found that samples of "polywater" were invariably contaminated with small amounts of dissolved material and suspended solid particles, and that these accounted for its unusual properties. So there wasn't anything special about the water itself at all. D'oh. As you might imagine, quacks jumped all over this and didn't particularly care when it was discredited. Sadly, there are still plenty of two-bit mail-order outfits all too happy to sell you clustered, unclustered, positively-charged, negatively-charged, ionised or oxygenated water, or machines using filters, magnets or ultrasound to produce the same.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

-Today's name, Atropine, was originally used more as a cosmetic than a medicine, but the line between the two isn't always clearly defined, especially in this case. A toxin derived from certain plants, particularly henbane and deadly nightshade, atropine was fashionable both in ancient times and during the Renaissance; women applied it to their eyes to dilate their pupils. Of course, this caused extreme sensitivity to light and would often temporarily render them almost blind, but evidently that was a small price to pay. It's still used in controlled doses to dilate the pupils for ophthalmic examinations, in emergency treatment of some heart conditions, and as an antidote for insecticide or nerve gas poisoning, but using it just so you have pretty-looking eyes is generally discouraged.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

-Today's name is Malaria, and it is being mentioned in its capacity as a treatment, not a disease. Before antibiotics, one experimental treatment for syphilis was to deliberately infect the patient with malaria, in the hope that the high fever produced by malaria would kill the bacteria that cause syphilis. Even today, some self-styled medical practitioners are infecting patients with malaria in an attempt to cure Lyme disease. There's no evidence that this has any effect on the course of either disease, and it has the obvious disadvantage that the patient ends up with two life-threatening diseases instead of one.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

-Today's name, Theriac, was an elaborate mixture of various ingredients first used in ancient times, and once believed to be effective as a universal antidote to poison. During the first century AD, an ancient Roman doctor developed a standard recipe for theriac, involving 64 ingredients, including such interesting treats as viper's flesh and ground-up pearls, antlers and coral. Preparations of theriac were still popular in some places until the 18th century.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

-Today's name, Flagellation (that is to say, whipping), may not seem like much of a medical treatment but it did find favour during one particular epidemic of disease. When bubonic plague was rampant in Europe, many people believed the disease was a punishment for their sins, and therefore whipped themselves in an attempt to atone and thereby avoid the plague.  -------------------- Take the Personality Test!
