Like I said, I almost started a thread and I think one would be relevant as science slowly undermines the 'safe alternative'. Would be fun to track historically from where we are now, imho.

I don't understand why so many people spell "memento" wrong. Unless you have a very bad MEMory it should be easy to reMEMber the correct spelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What an absurd story/study. I won’t begin to dismantle and discredit it unless asked to fill in the grey matter gaps for one of you. For starters: Is there a list of what ‘surgeries’ were performed by these groups of surgeons? Wouldn’t that be of primary relevance? SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
