Lie expectancy before invention of modern medicine was abysmally low. Food was scarce, shelter was brutal and medicines were non-existent. We are so dammmm lucky to be living in the current times.
So true, and this really strikes home with me.
I am a healthy adult, and rarely get sick. I had an internal infection earlier this week that would have easily killed me by now if not for a local urgent care clinic staffed with competent medical professionals, decent medical test equipment, and supplies such as I.V. antibiotics.
If not for the things we take for granted nowadays here, my wife would be burying me instead of asking me to take out the garbage today.
