It's complicated. [ Wednesday, February 22, 2006 01:31: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Blaming the medical profession for everyone who dies of iatrogenic disease is a little unfair, considering that most people whose deaths are attributed to iatrogenic causes are people already in long-term hospital care, who are very sick, very old, or both, and who would mostly be dead already if it weren't for modern medical techniques. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

As soon as you click the Post Reply button on the topic page, or after you've typed up your reply and clicked the Add Reply button? If the former, I don't know what's wrong. If the latter, check to make sure there aren't any links in your post that have ( or ) symbols in them -- UBB doesn't allow them. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Do you mean energy resistance? If so, that protects you from things like Kill spells and radiation areas.

It's stat number 31. You can see if you have Dread Curse by looking at the character info screen, although due to a minor cosmetic bug in BoA, you can't see how much Dread Curse you have. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, February 20 2006 19:52 Profile Homepage #107 quote: Originally written by Pliny the Happy Medium: Minor disagreement: some doctors are scientists. There's the whole "bench to bedside" theory of somehow being able to do everything for a patient, but there are also people with MDs who pursue science rather than specific treatments. You just don't need an MD to be a scientist Well, yeah. I know there are doctors who do research (although even those tend to specialise in one particular disease). I should have said that most doctors aren't. The bottom line is that you still shouldn't expect your GP to have published a paper on whatever malady you come in to see him about.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, February 20 2006 19:36 Profile Homepage #105 quote: Originally written by Synergy: Thuryl – You didn't really mean to sound that naive just then, did you? Doctors and scientists are the new high priests of the latest dominant religion of the west where Knowledge is god. Doctors aren't scientists. Really; they're not. The good ones try to keep up to date with modern medical knowledge, but often they're too busy to do so. Believe me, biologists sigh and shake their heads at all sorts of crazy things that some doctors do routinely. Likewise, 90% of people that you see in the news giving out medical advice to the public are journalists or PR people trying to interpret the results of a scientific study, not scientists themselves. Really, if you want to know what the practice of science is actually like, get a degree in one of the sciences and start reading peer-reviewed academic journals. Popular science magazines and science pages in newspapers are a poor substitute at best. And if the average person blindly trusts anything which somebody claims that a scientist has said, then that's a problem with the average person, because scientists don't trust each other one bit (or at least, they shouldn't if they're doing their job properly).

I don't "believe" what "the experts" tell me as absolute, infallible authorities. Good.
