Talk:Timeline of medicine and medical technology

message: Snuggies appear to some sort of cult, and it is likely that one of them put the mention of it treating chronic diseases there as a joke. I have removed it for now, as the reference links to the main page of a universities research and has no mention of snuggies helping chronic diseases.

message: The Source book, 'Contagion: Perspectives from Pre-Modern Societies' contains some interpretations of the Qur'an, not all direct facts from the Qur'an. This claim in the suspect article is such an interpretation. The information in the Qur'an discusses many topics. Including disease causing entities (insects, etc). The Qur'an nor the cited book details the encyclopedic authenticity of this claim of contagions.

:The item in question is:
:* c. 610-800 - Muhammad discussed the contagious nature of leprosy, mange and sexually transmitted disease. (reference is: Lawrence I. Conrad and Dominik Wujastyk (2000), Contagion: Perspectives from Pre-Modern Societies, "A Ninth-Century Muslim Scholar's Discussion". Ashgate, .)
:What in terms of the policies of WikiPedia is/are the objections?  Does the reference not say what this says it does?  Are there other reliable sources supporting significant views that Muhammed didn't discuss contageon?  Where in WikiPedia policy is there prohibition against interpretation?  WP:OR precludes editors from interpreting, but citing interpretations in reliable secondary sources is encouraged.  Please also see (WP:BRD). Zodon (talk) 07:21, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Sounds like there is no clear consensus among researchers.  Either noting the various opinions, or just leaving it out is okay with me.  Zodon (talk) 05:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I question the inclusion of "the discovery" of the lobotomy. I am not sure discovery if the way to describe the procedure and wonder whether the goal of the article is to include all manner of medical treatments, irrespective of their later being shown to be harmful.--Jrm2007 (talk) 02:37, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The [18] which appears beside numereous items on the list, as text, not superscripted link , is useless. It is listed in reference section as a link to www.1001beforeyoudie.com, which is not a reference but a list compilation itself, with no extra information whatsoever on the items. I'm deleting it.
