medical people despised the press holding attitudes not-totally unfamiliar
today. Reporters tended to be suckers for every quack, half-quack, over-eager
scientist, or naive country doctor who thought he had a serum to cure
tuberculosis, a herbal remedy for cancer, or a new surgical procedure to
rejuvenate the aged. When the newspapers were not wasting space on: undeserving
medical stories, they were overplaying legitimate news, getting their facts
wrong, and generally making a nuisance of them interfering in the lives and
practices of busy professionals. Doctor's deep suspicion of what they read in
the newspapers and even in the less-carefully edited medical journals help to
explain some of the early skepticism about insulin in countries like Britain: “Oh,
the Americans are always curing everything, this week its diabetes." Even
in Canada and the United States, it was some months before there was enough
confirmation of the unlikely news from Toronto to convince wire services and
the more skeptical doctors and editors that insulin was, indeed, the real
thing.
b) Write
a letter to your friend on his Birthday expressing good wishes.
c) You
are the Sports Secretary of your College. Draft a notice in not more than 50
words for your college notice board asking the students to give their names for
participation in various events to be held on the Annual Sports Day of your
college.
