Following up from @KenW449 's Thanos was right diatribe in the GMT, here's a good question for the day:
How many people here had an illness, illness, genetic predisposition, or accident that without modern medicine you probably would not have survived? Or, had an injury that would have prevented you from surviving if modern medicine could not have fixed you. Everything from really bad eyesight to some other kind of limitation that would have had you eaten or left in the woods for dead 200 yrs ago.
The votes are hidden if you're concerned about people seeing yours. You can vote on more than one item.
Mine - My appendix ruptured when I was 13-ish. I was in the hospital for two weeks and wasn't too far out from dying because of how bad the infection was. And my back injuries are so bad that I couldn't walk for months until surgery. I would have been left for dead or eaten because I couldn't sustain myself or run from danger.
