No doubt that there have been major advances in medicine over the last 50 years and all of us old geezers can thank the advances for making our life better.
Both my grandfathers died 30 years ago, ages 92 and 94, before cat-scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, Dopler tests, and routine stint surgery. So, I might not be so quick to agree that we would all be dead by now without modern advances.
