I'm miffed at the ampersands inserted there instead of the 'and's. I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but "coma &, if untreated, death." is kinda silly.. Could we please change it back? Tarek 04:06, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Korsakoff's psychosis is the correct terminology.

[edit] Popular

Carl Wernicke and Sergei Korsakoff "popularized" the respective illnesses? I didn't know an illness could be popularized... and I'm pretty sure it ain't popular. Extenebris 07:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Ever heard of SARS? Bird Flu? Mad Cow disease? Now how many people do you know that have been aflicted by any of these diseases? I'm betting you can count them all on no fingers. Yet you know these diseases quite well. Why? The media "popularized" them. 140.146.194.5 17:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
