Yes! I firmly believe in counting one's blessings. Modern medicine has given us so *much*. Without it, I'd be dead a dozen times over, and even if I'd survived, I'd be uselessly myopic and crippled.

Ditto that. I'd have died in childbirth, or died of some stupid infection without surgery being at the level it is today. (Yay for having a pelvis that will not dilate more than 3cm.)

Medicine has saved us all several times over just from childhood innoculations, much less later potential infections and accidents and illnesses.

I would have died in childbirth, too, and probably a dozen times when I had pneumonia. It's amazing.

Antibiotics? They are our FRIENDS.

Oh, yes. My grandfather died at 40, but most everyone who was diagnosed with our kidney disease after him (in our family) lived into their 60s. That's progress.
