Have you ever had a life-saving medical procedure or drug? Something that has only come into existence in the past couple of decades or century? Something that, had you been living in an earlier time period, would have meant the end of your life?
I often think of this when I hear about people having certain surgeries or treatments. I'm thinking about it right now because my baby is currently quite happy in a "transverse lie" position - if he stays there, I'll be required to have a c-section. Before the c-section, this presentation inevitably resulted in the death of the baby and quite often of the mother as well.
So, share! What miracle of modern medicine allows you to continue living and breathing today?
