This is demonstrably false on a huge number of conditions: type 1 diabetes, arthritis (knee and hip replacements), childhood vaccinations, antibiotics- you are being disingenuous to the advances over even the last 50 years here.
- y4mi 9y agoah, I did not mean to imply that modern medicine is useless. I'm sorry if that sounded like that. there are absolutely examples of its success, as you've correctly pointed out! It's still not nearly as amazing as the grand-grandparent made it sound. and my previous statement still stands: personal hygiene continues to save more people than any other treatment. this includes vaccinations and antibiotics (they're both wonderful discoveries that help save a lot of people).
