A short history of medicine

Patient complained "I have a pain.."

Doctor/pharmacist says:

2000 B.C "Here, eat this root."
1000 B.C "That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer."
1850 A.D. "That prayer is superstitious. Here, drink this potion."
1940 A.D. "That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill."
1985 A.D. "That pill is carcinogenic. Here, take this new antibiotic.
I do not know for sure what will happen if you take that root also."
2000 A.D. "That new antibiotic is ineffective. Here, eat this root."
2050 A.D. "Let me see your genome, and properly genetically modify you and your food.
Your problem will be solved forever." Or will it??
