This is wonderful.
I don't have any health insurance right now, since O-bomb-ya-care priced me out of the market. My great hope is to survive for 3 more years without any falls, broken bones, or medical crises (I'm 62) so that at 65 I can get onto Medicare and maybe get a left knee replacement.
Think there will be a 3-D bone-and-cartilege-drawing pen out there in 3 - 5 years?
Think there will be a Medicare?

We’re a the precipice of many wonderful medical breakthroughs, just as we are entering into a third world medical system. I’m sure the elites will be privy to the modern medicine, however.

Research “medical tourism” on the Internet. I predict it will save millions of lives and save people 50-80% on operations and other medical treatments. India, the Philippines, Singapore, Mexico and many countries in South America are already beefing up their infrastructure.

I had a humeral head fracture a few months ago. (shoulder, displaced.)
The surgery entailed a plate and 12 screws, and I’m told they use a substance described as an epoxy made with cadaver bone powder.

Experts have said it could improve bone reconstruction surgery. As a professional in this area, color me skeptical. At most this would be a secondary treatment.

Yes at least one of those visionary writers of the past likely wrote about this somewhere not all that many years ago.

Peter Choong, the director of orthopaedics at St Vincent's, said: "This type of treatment may be suitable for repairing acutely damaged bone and cartilage, for example, from sporting or motor vehicle injuries." And when plastic surgeons get this technology you'll see weirdos wanting horns on their forehead, and spurs on their arms. Tatoos won't hold a candle to what people will do with their bodies in the near-future.

People are ALREADY getting horns on their forehead. You can google images of it. Make sure the kids are out of the room if you do.

This is not the only ground breaking medical technology coming out of Australia, nor is it the most important or near to commercialization. Check out PolyNovo Biomaterials for example. What they are doing with the treatment of serious burns is game changing, and has attracted the interest of the US government. Or Phosphagenics with their abuse resistant transdermal oxymorphone, and topical oxycodone (not central nervous sysyem, does not enter the bloodstream).
Lots of good stuff coming out of the land down under.
