Now we don't like to be unduly medical here on Ouch, not us, but there's a great new poll on the British Medical Journal website, in which you can vote for your choice of the top 15 Medical Milestones since 1840 (the year when the BMJ launched). Crippled Monkey is already trying to decide between Chlorpromazine and the discovery of DNA structure; antibiotics versus tissue culture. Hmm.

The winner will be announced on 18 January, so get over and make your mark. And don't worry, if details of medical advances aren't your thing, you can read full articles or helpful summaries on each one.
