[lbo-talk] putting quackery to the test

[Michael Perelman]

Berry's Great Influenza Epidemic gives a wonderful critique of early 
medical training.  You could get a degree by passing 5 or 9 classes at 
Harvard.  The state of medicine at the time was an invitation to 
quackery because mainstream medicine itself was mostly quackery.
