Some good points. My brother is a doctor, and can tell you, Doctors are human.

I do know this. If not for modern medicine, my premature son would have died shortly after birth.

And if not for modern medicine, I would have died a couple of weeks ago.

I do wish they could find a cure for my wife’s Lupus. At least they are understanding it and making some progress. Ten years ago, they would shrug it off as ‘female’ problems.

I foresee a day in the near future when they can look at a persons DNA and see and fix many potential problems before they start.

I also foresee a day when everyone gets scans like the PET scan to catch cancer before it spreads.

And one day, I think nano-robots will fix many problems in the human body.

Chalk me up as a fan of modern medicine. And it will only get better.
