One of my favorite little know facts about how much has really changed with medical treatment...

Only 90 years ago, President Calvin Coolidge's 16 year old son died from a foot blister he got while playing lawn tennis on the White House grounds, something that would have probably been easily treated with an OTC anti-bacterial or a quick trip to the doctor nowadays.

We hardly have the get "medieval" to see the radical advancements in health and how we all greatly benefit from it.
