Duct Tape Can Remove Warts
chris_calabrese writes "According to this Reuters article on Yahoo! News, "Duct tape, already legendary for its many uses, can also be deployed to get rid of warts, U.S. Army researchers said on Monday." The basic idea is to tape over the warts and suffocate them. Apparently more effective than the traditional cryotherapy too."
Doctors are better trained than you give them credit for.
That's likely because there are so many doctors who manage to be complete morons despite having gone to school for so many years. Aside from surgeons, "doctors" don't do much beyond advanced nursing anyway - it's the people in the labs that diagnose and prescribe, while the doctor just tells people what the lab told them.
One day I need to get a job where I can get paid heaps of money just to pass along information and remember basic anatomy... :)
