Austrian psychiatrist Julius Wagner-Jauregg had a remarkable talent for recognizing patterns. When a common tendency appears, it’s called a pattern. Finding common ground also involves identifying problems or finding solutions. Before the discovery of penicillin, Julius was searching for a way to treat neurosyphilis but accidentally discovered that the condition was cured when the patient developed a severe fever from another disease. Julius intentionally infected a patient with malaria to induce a fever, and when the fever rose, he used quinine to treat malaria and saved the syphilis patient. Without treatment, syphilis had a 30% survival rate, but with malaria-induced fever, the survival rate increased to 60%. The survival rate was doubled. For this work, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1927. Although high fever causes pain in humans, it also signals that the immune system is active. Recognize patterns to solve problems. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When it comes to people, what is more frightening, guns or bullets? Of course, it is a gun. People are more sensitive to direct threats than indirect threats. The invisible is not afraid. The essence of fear comes from the “unknown,” but it also comes into contact with calculations that seem more likely to be a threat. The free time that threats have not yet been implemented plays a rich soil in corruption and crime. However, the guns and bullets are all scary. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
