Hemorrhoids: Print Media as the Cure for Digital Digestive Ills

August 19, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Fascinating case report of a readers whose hemorrhoids were cured with the discontinuation of the print edition of The Economist.

Note that this is an N of 1. The manipulation of print media has not been proven in any double-blinded study to impact outcomes with rectal varices.

I’m wondering what we could do for short gut in kids.

Via The Economist. h/t to Tom Standage for pulling this into my feed.
