Medicine gets smaller
The practices of medical professionals today are based on the understanding that there is beings so small they are invisible to the eye that effect all medical procedures. If this medical research of the smaller world didn't exist things like a common infection, virus's, bacteria, cancer, an understanding of the cell, would have never been discovered. Since this research of small has begun people live longer and longer. It makes the mortality rate of patients in surgery better by minimizing the risk of infection. This is because of the process of sterilization and the understanding of the small.

My son was born with a heart condition that was diagnosed at the age of 4. His heart rate would go from normal to over 200 beats for minute within seconds. He was able to have a surgical proceedure done that repaired his heart and he walked out of the hospital in 24 hours later with 3 incisions less than a millemeter long...His recovery time was amazingly short and his risk of infection was so low. I am greatful for this new small medical technology.
ReplyDeleteMedicine may have gotten smaller but the fees and costs have gotten larger.
ReplyDeleteAs medicine thinks small, my bill gets large! Even so, I love how medicine has embraced technology and vice versa.
