Referencing “scar tissue”.....just read the Pulitzer Prize book about American industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt....the richest man in America at the time.

He lived and died a painful death b/c scar tissue had formed on a procedure....and back then there was nothing to help him.

Laudanum (Tincture of Opium) has been around since the 16th century.

I feel sorry for this guy. Medicine has come a long way but has a long way to go. I’m sure Obama’s tax on medical devices didn’t help research and development of imaging technology.

And Benjamin Franklin, arguably the most famous person in the Western world for decades, had to stand on his head to pee because of kidney stones. It was the only way to dislodge them from blocking the ureters.

Nearly every woman who has had C Sections or Hysterectomy develop Adhesion’s, they are very debilitating to the point you can’t get out of bed, they use laparotomy surgery to burn them off, but they only come back a few months or years later. Been there. Then with a Hysterectomy your risk a fallen bladder or bowel again very painful, and those meshes they use as slings are under lawsuits for the damage they cause. Same goes for a hernia.

We are going backwards instead of forward in medicine.
