A UPI distributed piece by Rene Dubos notes a past global faith in modern medicine. It observes ongoing medical advances yet argues it has become fashionable to downplay medicine's role in health, highlighting a shift in public perception.
A physician reflects on how sanitation nutrition and living standards have transformed public health this century. He highlights personal battles with rheumatic heart disease and endocarditis as examples of how antibiotics and modern care mitigate prior fatal conditions while chronic degenerative diseases rise with age.
The piece argues medicine will help patients function despite illness, aiding rehabilitation and reducing anxiety. It notes disease is likely inevitable and emphasizes quality of life over perfect prevention or cure, with future discussion promised by Dr. Lester Breslow.
Malnutrition and microbial diseases were the chief killers in earlier times. Today for under 40 and over 40 the leading killers are forms of violence and chronic degenerative diseases. Health largely hinges on lifestyles and environmental quality. Medicine can relieve symptoms aid rehabilitation and ease anxiety beyond prevention and cures.
