Modern medicine - still the third leading cause of death

RE: Modern medicine - still the third leading cause of death
What...

What's the point of this? Of course there are risks involved in medicine. But one would assume it's obvious the benefits outweigh the risks.

Thanks Alex. Take a look at how they define errors. No wonder the numbers are over inflated.

OP/delta male (brave new world): You need to believe everything that you read. When your god given body becomes ill, don't seek human help. Do us all a favor, pray only.

Oh noes!

Someone, pass the bleeding bowl and leeches. We're going to have to burn some incense too to remove these bad humors.

Make sure you bless the soil first too with the blood of a goat. We'll need to make sure the ground is consecrated before we sacrifice the virgin as well.

The biggest cause of death is birth, and the biggest cause of birth is unprotected sex (no study required), maybe have a word with the pope  Dodgy

Had a good sleep.

Still can't understand what the point of this could possibly be.

A joke maybe?

All I can do is roll my eyes. I figure logic won't work here anymore than it does on the religious.

Trying to breathe is also really dangerous. If you get it wrong, you can die!

How many lives have been lost by invoking prayer instead of modern medicine?

This has to be a joke. I'm giving alpha the benefit of the doubt here.

I'm surprised alpha hasn't come back calling us apologists for sciencetism or some shit.

For that first 11,900 years people mainly did pray to whatever non-existent god happened to call the shots in their neighborhood.  I wonder what the fuck happened starting around 1900?
