Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial they may seem

I got a medical check up where the nurse asked if I drink enough water and she said I will know by the colour of my urine. It got me thinking about how much water our ancestors drank and I assumed it wasn't much (compared to today). I'm that case, out bodies are fine with not drinking too much water and perhaps there was too much emphasis on staying hydrated these days.

"our ancestors did it so we should be fine" has little regard to the fact that our ancestors generally lived much shorter lives than we do, with many more severe health problems in relatively early life than we tend to have now.

So where in the history of medical issues leading to premature death in our ancestors has any one raised dehydration. I thought most of them drank themselves to death.🥃🍷🍾🍹😉

When someone becomes a consultant, in a medical way, why is it that they are referred to as Mr so and so, and not Dr so and so?

The BMJ explanation

As far as the gynocologist mentioned above is concerned he might have gained an extra qualification that allowed him to change title

some branches can involve surgery but do not have to so some of the Doctors are qualified as surgeons and some are not
I think
possibly
