Ask HN: What will medicine look like in 10 years?

I recently decided to become a doctor and there seems to be a lot of pessimism surrounding the field with the recent government interventions and what-not. But I'm more optimistic and can see technology playing a powerful role in disrupting old systems and creating a new paradigm of personalized-to-the-DNA treatments, tri-quarter-ish diagnosis tools, re-growth of organs and damaged tissues, and integrative medicine (whole-body treat-the-cause instead of the symptom). These things may not come in 10 years, but perhaps some will.

Am I naive and too optimistic? What does HN think about the future of medicine?
