Those Crazy Docs Down Under

Mikaela says:
So two Australian doctors won the Nobel Prize for medicine for proving that ulcers are caused by bacteria and not simply stress.

While I'm skeptical (and a little nervous) that this is the MOST important discovery in medicine in this last year, I have to give kudos for their throwing off of traditional scientific method. When faced with doubt from the medical community, one of the docs drank a glassful of the offending bacteria, subsequently got an ulcer, and then cured himself with antibiotics.

Now THAT's a doctor (if not a scientist) I'd trust.

What's up with that, Doc?
