"A Brief History of Medicine"

In case you have an earache, here's how you would've treated it in:

2000 BC - Here, eat this root.

1000 AD - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.

1850 AD - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion

1940 AD - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.

1985 AD - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.

2000+ AD - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.
