"Medical Science has been so successful that people now expect too much of it" --Discuss.?
Answer:
If you think about the extended life epectencies today you can appreciate how successfull medical science is - to the extent that it is possible for people in their 90's to have healthy and active lifstyles only end up in hospital as a result of simple accidents such as tripping over a rug at home and fracturing their hips. They then expect to make a full recovery which is often unrealistic considering the risks of surgery for people in that age group.
You could mention plastic surgery and anti aging. Then you could mention people who smoke drink overeat and expect medicine and medical surgery to fix them and still smoke drink and eat too much.
And of course you cant forget about those who are looking to make us live forever. There's also some stories on over medication of kids like Ritalin and parents give their kids certain supplements to improve their schooling.

Medical science is successful because they began in the late 1800's to treat certain symptoms as "the problem".
but the problem truely was the introduction of preservatives into prepackaged foods.. The org. that existed before it was called the FDA was correct in investigating the affects of foods on the human body.
There are no regulations to support health. They are regulations to support big business and government elite..
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests result in death. That's pretty well the end of the story. The rate of successful resuscitation is about 2%. Very few people outside of medicine know that, because the rate on TV is about 50% or better.
Miracle clot-buster drugs are being used to treat strokes. In nobody does the treatment make an immediate difference, in nearly ninety percent it never makes a difference, and in the ten or twelve percent in whom it does make a difference, that difference is good in only half. And that's if everything goes perfectly. You don't hear those details unless you're paying close attention.
Weight control is a matter of calories intake vs. calories burned. There are no other factors in the equation. That isn't the general perception, though, is it?
Did you know that the overwhelming bulk of medical evidence is that cold medicines have no positive effects at all on children? If cold medicines, which contain old ingredients that fall under a "grandfather clause" in the FDA's authority, had to show safety and effectiveness to be marketed, in the same way new drugs do, there would be no pediatric decongestants or cough syrups sold. None.
It's an everyday occurrence for me to see somebody with a cold who admits to knowing that there's no cure for a cold, and that it's caused by a virus that cannot be treated with an antibiotic, with that understanding quickly followed by: "But Doc, this is a really bad cold, so I need an antibiotic."
