Modern
medicine has changed the lives of many, saved the lives of many and given lives
to many.
In
association with Apollo Hospitals, which has touched lives in more ways than
can be counted, IndiBlogger invited us all to write on How Modern Medicine Has
Touched Lives..
BUT what if
it hadn’t?
What if it’d
never been found out and mankind was forever into the dark abyss that he’d
created? Here are a few would’ve been facts that would’ve been true had Modern
Medicine NOT touched the delicate humans’ lives..
- No Defibrillation
Seriously? No THIS?! The movies/sitcoms of earth wouldn’t be the same without these electrifying inventions! If not for modern medicine, we wouldn’t be able to zap people back to consciousness, people who’ve almost gone. Even by untrained people. Yep, that’s right. Modern medicine makes things THAT easy.
- Human
population would’ve been much lesser
Yep, that’s correct..though I guess everyone already knew this. The progress in the field of medicine has affected the Infant Mortality Rate in such a drastic way that (directly lifted from Wikipedia quoted coming up) It is estimated that the world population reached one billion for the first time in 1804. It was another 123 years before it reached two billion in 1927, but it took only 33 years to reach three billion in 1960. Thereafter, the global population reached four billion in 1974, five billion in 1987, six billion in 1999 and seven billion in October 2011.
- Direct Blood Transfusion ONLY…uh-oh
Early experiments in this field involved animal to animal, animal to human and
eventually human to human blood transfusion. But blood left outside the body
would quickly coagulate and become solid. So obviously, you can’t always have a
potential donor right next to the patient. But thanks to the medicine of today,
we can actually store blood and give around ninety two million people every
year a chance to save millions of lives. I hope I never need a blood transfusion;
there have been no aliens yet.

ONLY this could've saved lives. |
- Only ‘God’ could’ve helped
And let’s face it..there haven’t been many times when these imaginary friends
have helped divert huge disasters costing millions of lives, injuring many more
and destroying an even bigger number of families. People, above all, value
their health, whether they know it or not. Thanks to doctors’ miracles,
questions have been raised about the truth of the supreme beings supposedly controlling
us and more interested in destroying us. Yep, aliens too.
- Survival of the Physically Fittest
Couple that with the couch potatoes humans have turned into, and I am 100% sure
that this would’ve led the human race eventually die out. (And then we can
claim the earth as our own planet and make slaves out of the remains of you.)
So yes, modern medicine is the reason why humans aren’t extinct. And scientists
live up to the age where they can actually find out stuff. And aliens haven’t
come to colonize the earth yet. Be thankful!
