The Miracle of Modern Medicine
Medicine is such an amazing thing! To think that you could get a liquid injected into you that would cause you to be unable to contract a certain deadly disease or a pill that makes your body temperature drop from 101 back down to normal. I can hardly believe all the amazing developments in the science of medicine. People truly are geniuses to come up with all of the advancements. Human life has been so greatly improved, and so much suffering and pain has been help, and sometimes even cured.
I don’t think that we realize that amazing things that are happening all around us. My neighbor was diagnosed with cancer, yet he’s now completely fine because of radiation and chemotherapy. There are so many diseases that before we expected to kill, but now are easily cured. Another example is Polio. This used to be an awful disease, but now children are given shots that will prevent it. The life expectancy rating is constantly rising, through technology. People used to be expected to live into their 20’s or 30’s, but now many people live well past their 70’s and 80’s.
Yet, there are those who fight against this. I can’t believe that any one would start smoking with all of the knowledge that we now have. They know that it does horrendous things to your body and will eventually kill you. But still, thousands start every year.
Doesn’t that seem kind of like people are heading backwards?
We all need to appreciate the great miracle of modern medicine, and make sure to keep our bodies in good shape, so we don’t have to use it!
