I have always figured that my body knows what it’s doing when it responds to an injury with inflammation. Applying the logic of "your body knows" is probably not in your best long term interest. In purely evolutionary terms, getting a bad enough injury that you require medical attention should mean you just die because you weren't strong enough to survive. Artificially saving your life is "unnatural".

This is an often repeated but incorrect interpretation of 'survival of the fittest.' Newborn babies can not survive, yet that says nothing about whether they 'should' or 'shouldn't' according to 'evolution.' Evolution isn't goal directed, it isn't picking winners and losers.
