It is an interesting idea that medical knowledge should be "open source".
Certainly clinical medicine is "open", though some areas of medicine are
increasingly proprietary, such as pharmaceuticals and the processes
underlying pathology. The human genome has been patented. I suppose in
the old days if you were a witch doctor, it didnt make commercial sense
to open your knowledge to everyone..

I'm a bit shocked that Horst doesn't do his own ironing...
Ironing is a bit of a mystery to me
