Nobel for scientist who poisoned himself to prove his ulcer theory

If this is a response to my previous post, then I consider it 'comparing apples to oranges.' For one thing, I don't know how you would innoculate yourself with PTSD in the first place . Let's, for the sake of argument, say your now a sufferer of PTSD; a level that is theorized to shrink a hippocampus. Well, I would say that its not likely you would have any further interest/inclination to continue such demanding scientific research. I guess a colleague could continue the research and study 'you' at this point though. However, unlike Dr Marshall and his study, there is no antibiotic or magic pills for PTSD:crybaby: . And your colleague would probably piss you off, and vise-versa, so much that further research would be futile. IMO, PTSD is too subjective to garner a Noble Prize.
Everyone's different in their own way though, and I'm just a lay-person (not an expert) here.
