Are there good examples of clinically worthless research and medicines later leading to genuinely worthwhile cures/treatments etc? I can't think of any but I am curious what examples you have in mind.
- aidenn0 4y agoThe first recipient of a human heart transplant died 18 days later. Now the average life after one is 15 years.
