To make Ill?

 

Again no. very vague hint - "ob" is being used as a prefix and can be found under a seperate definition in the dictionary. Unfortunately I can't think of any other words where it is/has been used in this context.

 

it's a guy who delivers toxic babies????

 

Exposed? That's one of the translations in one of my english-greek dictionaries.

 

Ok then I'll take BOC's answer and make it "exposed to harm or injury?"

 

T'will do DS. "Vulnerable to Harm" is the description given in this months readers digest, which I was leafing through in the dentists waiting room last week.

 

I thank thee kind sirrah, and pose this teaser in response

On November 11, 1938, in a hospital on North Brother Island, New York a woman died having suffered a stroke six years previously. She had been held on the Island for over 25 years all told, her constitutional rights had been ignored and she was kept a 'prisoner' without due process. Who was she?

Bonus Points for her real name, but I'll accept the name she became known by.

 

Typhoid Mary?

 

Yes Mary Mallon known as Typhoid Mary, have a generic cuddly toy

 

Open for the next IJA...
