From 1900 to 2010, average life expectancy at birth increased from only 49 years to almost 80 years

The vast majority of caregivers are well trained and conscientious
Western medicine’s ability to save and extend life, and to improve the quality of life for the ill and injured is nothing short of miraculous

it changes how we think about the present and the future.
As health care increasingly contributes to the national debate, let’s debate in the context of the phenomenal progress we’ve made and the progress we’re capable of making.

He has been told about the clever tools of modern medicine and somewhat vaguely, he expects that by-and-by he will profit from them, but in his hour of trial his desperate want is for someone who is personally committed to him, who has taken up his cause, and who is willing to go to the trouble for him.”
