The number and magnitude or diseases that are now cured or managed is remarkable. Lots and lots of issues are addressed quickly and effectively today. Many remain a mystery.
Working in surgery every day, I frequently think how people not long ago would often suicide rather than face the knife (pre-anesthesia) or die from what started as an appendicitis or go blind from cataracts... . Amazing really.
