Its always exciting to think what breakthroughs are coming for the next year in medicine. New treatments or medications will come forward to help pain and suffering and hopefully heal and reverse disease. The really exciting thing about research in medicine today is we are embarking on new territory. We are entering the era of molecular biology and medicine with means we are looking at structures and chemicals and naturally occurring elements on their simplist level. This may lead to major breakthroughs in how we apply their properties to the healing and reversal of disease.
Between stem cells derived from our own progenitor cells (not embryos), molecular biology, immunotherapy targeted at specific cancer cells in our body and continued unraveling of the genomes of humans and cancer cells we truely are embarking on on a new frontier in medicine in the next decade. In ten years we will look back on how we treated disease and illness much like the physicians did after the advent of immunizations and antibiotics and wonder how we did any good at all.
The important thing to remember is that no matter how technological we get our patients are still human beings from all walks of life and not numbers or study subjects. We can never lose sight of that fact and must continue to treat each and everyone of them with the respect and kindness they may not find anywhere else but form us!
Joke for the Day!!! What did one elevator say to the other one?
