"Modern medicine laughs at medical theories and ideas from the 19th and 20th century."

Only the historically ignorant and arrogant medical researchers do.

"Of course, the exception to this will be those ideas which can be examined and tested in the lab -- just like any of the experiments Newton, et. al. performed are still being reproduced today."

What experiments did Newton perform? And, are you aware that Newton's theories have been shown to be inadequate?

Newton did experiments. He proved by experiment that light was waves and not particles.

"Only the historically ignorant and arrogant medical researchers do."

Uhm, no, you know that's not true. Most people cringe and shake their heads when they think of doctors "bleeding" people many centuries ago (this hastened the ultimate demise of G. Washington, for example). Certainly they didn't know any better at the time but that doesn't mean people today don't laugh at it.

"What experiments did Newton perform? "

Are you asking a serious question? Heck, we reproduced the light through the prism experiment in Junior High.

"And, are you aware that Newton's theories have been shown to be inadequate?"

Absolutely. But they are not incorrect within certain constraints, which still makes them valid. I don't know of anyone who looks at Newton's theories like they do medical science of yesteryear.
