(Hey, wait a minute, I’ve GOT 3 DQs…)
DQ: In a medically related field?
That’s pretty much what I was thinking.
T.
- real
- female
- American
- dead
- not known for the arts
- died since 1900
- not known for contributions to science or technology
- died after 1950
- first name starts with T
- not a sports figure
- not political
- not a criminal
- died after 1990
- not famous because she’s married to someone famous
- in a medically related field
Caution: This is the least bad answer to the DQ, I think, but it is not entirely straightforward.
IQ: Are you referred to by a nickname beginning with T that reflects your place in medical history?
Dunno. Take a DQ.
Then you are not Typhoid Mary, the best known (and possibly the first known) asymptomatic carrier.
DQ: Caucasian?
IQs:
- Were you a gap-toothed Britisher of 1960’s comedies?
- Are you an impudent trickster from German folklore?
- Did your show spinoff The Andy Griffith Show?
IQ1: Are you famous because of a national debate about a decision that had to be made on your behalf?
IQ2: Did you die in the same week as Princess Diana?
Definitely not Typhoid Mary.
Not Terry-Thomas, dunno, and dunno.
Dunno, and not Mother Theresa.

1: Then you’re not Terri Schiavo
2: As you say, you’re not Mother Theresa of Calcutta.
Yes, I am indeed
Terri Schiavo!
Well done, fanganga! Did you catch my hint in post 58? I suggest you now start a December Botticelli thread.
Thank you - I wouldn’t have thought of her if it wasn’t for the word patient coming up in post 58.
I had a feeling it was going to be some sort of medical case like that, but Karen Ann Quinlan was the only one I could think of…
Good job, fanganga!
