EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

That's actually really interesting, the medical professionals I've been acquainted with never seemed to mention that theory to begin with.

Hypothesis*, and it is very popular with nurses. Unfortunate, but people still believe many strange things.

It's entirely confirmation bias. The crazies come out, must be a full moon. It isn't? Oh, then it's just a bad day. It is a full moon? See, I told ya. Full moon and no crazies? Didn't even notice.
