Good to hear your mum's still about. I've had two instances in my life where it took skilled medical people, modern technology and (in once case) high transfusions to keep me going.
I propose an experiment. It requires someone who decries modern medicine, a proper location, and a sharp, rusty knife encrusted with fecal matter. Here's how it'll work: We place the anti-modern med individual just outside the entrance to a state-of-the art hospital, say 5m from the doors. An identical distance on the other side of the individual, we place a table with various sort of alternative medicines; acupuncture needles, healing crystals, copper bracelets, a Christian Science handbook, and so forth. Now, here's the fun bit: We stab the test subject with the filthy, rusty knife and see what way sh/e runs.
In order to get a large enough statistical universe to be useful, I suggest repeating the experiment, say, 1000 times or so.
