Physic?

Sinking to the level of Fox News during the Chandra Levy story.

heh, Raddy, I'll bet "Psychic" was autocorrected to "Physic" or something...

"Psychic? Sorry, there is no such thing, try physics instead."
'siri, just shut up and do what I tell ya...'

Psychic? Sorry, there is no such thing.... ~ Posted by: SwissArmyD at October 28, 2015 4:08 PM

There is such a thing. It's an archaic usage, but it exists. From the Free Dictionary:

phys·ic (fĭz′ĭk)

n.
1. A medicine or drug, especially a cathartic.
2. Archaic The art or profession of medicine.

tr.v. phys·icked, phys·ick·ing, phys·ics
1. To act on as a cathartic.
2. To cure or heal.
3. To treat with or as if with medicine.

There's no such thing as a physic medium. At least not one with which you can meet.

CBS should instead have George Bonanno on to explain why humans are resilient; how the few who aren't can get help.
