I'm sure if we could ask people from the 19th century about our modern healthcare, they'd have the same perspective we have of the ideas on this blog.Carolyn Boylesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-77318572512417850412012-10-17T20:33:52.932-06:002012-10-17T20:33:52.932-06:00I loved your post!

The medical technology we have today is great and keeps evolving, but the hard part is keeping the human factor in diagnosis and treatment of people. Just because we have the technology doesn't necessarily mean we should use it or that you would benefit from it!

Just recently, I was stuck in the dentist chair getting a filling (Ow!) and thought to myself, "There has got to be a better way to take care of this." Maybe in the future we'll have pain-free dentistry, accelerated healing, and who knows what else.Allie Ritchhttp://allieritch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-35910414646141737382012-10-16T11:41:59.097-06:002012-10-16T11:41:59.097-06:00That rejuvenation unit sounds wonderful, I think I...That rejuvenation unit sounds wonderful, I think I'd like a swim!

You get a lot of phycist, spacey, math geeks but not a lot with a background in the healthcare arena, so they fall back on some of the standards. <br /><br />LOL, truthfully, if I had a background in one of the above, I'd probably be too busy thinking quantum mechanics too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447874650659057352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-47123336676893840702012-10-16T10:22:11.220-06:002012-10-16T10:22:11.220-06:00I love reading up on some of the nano-tech advance...I love reading up on some of the nano-tech advances and mixing them into my stories. My fave is a medi-Pac, known as a 'slap and stick' because it adheres to open wounds, disinfecting and healing, before being absorbed into the body once it's not needed.Pippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-7395849059779939422012-10-16T09:59:36.469-06:002012-10-16T09:59:36.469-06:00Thanks for a great blog!
