		<description>Now that it&#039;s been shown that placebo can be effective even if the patient knows it&#039;s placebo, iatrapistia, even for homeopathy, should go down even for skeptics.  I want the most expensive, light blue, double strength placebo, please.  Opps.  Studies show that the more you spend on health in the USA, the lower quality care you get.  So, just the light blue, double strength placebo, please.

Kinesipathy sometimes works. The main trouble is doing an accurate diagnosis that suggests if it will work or not.  If it doesn&#039;t work, it really sucks.

When i was diagnosed with mono, my doctor said &quot;well, at least you can only get it once&quot;.  I was thinking, &quot;just like AIDS&quot;.  But i know people who have had it, and a decade or two later, tested positive for it again, though without symptoms. Also, i know of people who&#039;ve had it more than once, clearly demonstrating recrudesence.  Last i heard, no one has any idea how mono is transmitted.  But it seems likely that at least some of us carry it long term, possibly for life. So, there&#039;s a clear resevoir for future transmission. I should point out that this isn&#039;t a popular idea. Noone seems to want to believe that they, themselves, are a possible carrier. They expect social ostracism.  IMO, this is stupid.  It&#039;s never a good thing to be in denial.  Scientists have recently shown that stupidity is more abundant in the Universe than hydrogen.</description>

		<description>&quot;Gorked&quot; means anesthetized, and &quot;gork&quot; is someone who has lost all brain function, while being kept alive only through artificial means. It isn&#039;t an acronym of anything. Nice research, jerkoff.</description>

		<description>Most likely, given the circumstances. Weighing 8 stone, addicted to a cocktail of stimulant drugs and undissolved drugs in his stomach. I&#039;ll change the posting if it turns out to be wrong.</description>
