Medicine too. I've said it many times. The term "Western medicine" is racist. It assumes that the "West" is far more rational and scientific than elsewhere, mainly those places with dark- or yellow-skinned people.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1132339919987269633 …
And, wasn't one of your early published scientific papers on a medicine based on a common tea made of periwinkle flowers? Periwinkle Flower tea? Hmmm. Maybe those herbalist aren't 100% wrong?

Oh, yes it was. Oh didn't know it. As it was similar to aspirin having its roots in willow bark tea. Give me a moment...

Yep. I used digoxin a lot in ICU patients when I was a resident in the 1990s. It's not used nearly as much anymore because there are better, safer alternatives. Even 25 years ago we were moving away from using digoxin.
