Whoever says (Singaporean) doctors have no sense of humor better retract his/her words...

Ailments afflicting wizarding folk are underreported in the muggle world. The recent integration of muggles and magical folk with the return of You-Know-Who (aka He Who Must Not Be Named) may result in a similar affliction of inhabitants of both worlds. We describe interesting maladies afflicting muggles and wizarding folk alike, arising from the use and misuse of magic. We also provide a basic glossary of magical ailments, and describe their muggle corollaries. Further studies will hopefully result in the development of immunity against the unforgivable curses.

fyi, the bao article was also in Today newspaper a few weeks ago. And doctors are very creative, according to my personal experience. :P
Hi
I wonder where Dr. E C Lim is from. Must tell his boss and commend Dr. Lim ( and also to give him more work- as he must be very free to write such complicated and interesting academic articles!).
