Really. I think we could prevent dementia if we only would go back to the good old days.

Welcome to my blog. I am a practicing primary care physician in the Southeastern US, caring for patients of all ages (Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics). This blog covers a wide variety of issues, including the following: What it is like to be a physician, dogs driving cars, what troubles are in our system, toddlers with flame-throwers, what would it take to fix that system, llamas, death and dying issues, mutants, and accordions. Maybe I need to write about mutant dying accordions with flame-throwers. Hmmm....I feel a post coming. Anyhow, I like variety. Life is always lived with both laughter and tears. If you are a regular reader of this blog, it is also filled with nausea and nightmares. Thanks for stopping by. -Dr. Rob

Unlike the pic on Medpage (qv), I don’t think this is actually a rack. I’m not sure what you call it, but I’m pretty certain it works by crushing the ankles between the vertical bars, not by stretching the joints in the spine and long bones.
That said, I agree with the basic point made there that statistical links do not imply causal links!

Ken, You are right. I did get this when I did a Google image search on “The Rack Torture.” Apparently the Chinese had a rack of their own. I just liked this picture.
