Beyond The Call of Duty

I don’t think that I would care to go as far as professor David Pritchard and his team in the cause of pushing back the boundaries of medicine. But at least they know what they are doing. I am reminded of a friend of ours who bought some diet pills some years back. It was only when one of them started moving that she discovered that the diet pills contained tapeworm eggs. The full horror was that she had already taken some and, yep, she had her very own tapeworm growing inside of her. She was thin, though.
