right? a lot of modern medicine sucks, especially the obvious focus on keeping you buying meds rather than curing you, but it's not all doom and gloom. the fact that we can shrug off most bacterial infections or that diseases like tuberculosis aren't a death sentence outside of happening to a super-robust 20-year-old who can afford to rest, that's nothing short of amazing.

medieval people weren't dying in droves from little scratches like we're led to believe, but if you got badly sick you did pretty much just have to stay in bed and hope for the best. we are much safer from illnesses and injury complications today.
