[Cz-L] Medicine

Reading about Dr Wiesenthal was an emotional experience for me. This little boy's ear infection in 1942 was massive and may have led to a premature visit with his ancestors but for the good doctor's intervention.

I have not read all of the emails but I wander if we covered clinical medicine.
My Mother assured us that many physiological as well as psychological ailments are the result of a GITOYK and that the proper clinical treatment of a gitoyk (spelled gitoyg) is to recite the following:

Drei vaber zitsen of ein shtein
Eine zugt: siz a gitoyk
Die ondered zugt: nein
Die driter zugt: fin vonen 'siz gekimen, ahien zol es gein

pou, pou, pou (spit three times on the floor)

Three ladies sit on one stone
one says, it is the evil eye
the other says, no
the third says, from whence it came thither should it go
