Medical Science Marches On...Backwards

The Sunday Times, Britain - Nurses want patients who are intent on harming themselves to be provided with clean blades so that they can cut themselves more safely. They say people determined to harm themselves should be helped to minimise the risk of infection from dirty blades, in the same way as drug addicts are issued with clean needles.

Are you fucking kidding me? Have we all just given up on TREATING disorders? Are we reduced to just minimizing symptoms, instead of curing the disease? Fuck me sideways...this is just dumb. Here's a thought: fix the problem. Helping a symptom doesn't stop the disease, it only makes you forget about it for a while; meanwhile, you're encouraging the issue.

Fuckin' morons.
