Interesting anecdote, although, as I never get tired of stressing, other people do exist and have different experiences. People are kept alive all the time by medicinal techniques that have been developed and just because your doctor visits have not saved your life does not mean that many others have not experienced the wonders of modern medicine. Also you're taking for granted all of the illnesses you avoided merely by being vaccinated for them as a child. Almost nobody in developed society contracts polio anymore, but that doesn't make it any less lethal to groups not acquainted with modern medicine.
