Historical WebMD

Hi all, I made a Twitter bot! Old Timey Doctor is dispensing health tips @HistoricalWebMD generated by influences ranging from Vesalius to the Victorians, and before and beyond!

I used the instructions linked in the syllabus, and am still ironing out the bot’s vocabulary.
(ETA:) Currently, the behind-the-scenes Google Doc looks like this:webmd_vocab

Please share your favorite ailments, remedies, and/or corresponding pseudoscientific turns-of-phrase if you’d like to add to the algorithm — I look forward to gory suggestions!
