Which doctor?
I originally wrote:


 * What is your opinion of faith healers and witch doctors? Can they heal and curse?

Which was changed to:


 * What is your opinion of faith healers and witch doctors? Can they heal and cure?

Which, on the face of it, seems more reasonable. Thing is that I but "curse" in deliberately as I was inspired by this New Scientist article on the "nocebo effect" - the opposite of the placebo effect - and which apparently explains the reported power of witch doctors to kill. That said, I was probably a bit ambitious in thinking that students would pick up on that very obscure hint. I'll have to think of some other way of inserting it.--Bob M 06:38, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
