When I was in school (I was a Cytologist) the fatality rate was very high, too. Over my 40 years in the field, it was simply an amazing turnaround. I believe it is around 94% that achieve ‘cure’ and most go on to live good and pretty long lives. A definite success story.
I told Dr. John Kingsbury Frost, at Johns Hopkins University, that the miraculous discoveries that he had made will last to serve humanity as long as the printed world. He liked that.
The conquest of polio and smallpox, safe blood transfusion, the end to such plagues as cholera and typhoid fever, heart transplant! All miracles!
As a medical student and later a physician I prayed every day for an end to such horrors! Today I still pray, as I pray for Rush all all afflicted, and I also give thanks for the prayers already answered.
I also give thanks for President Trump and pray for his success in bringing all of America--and the world--back to the Side of the Angels. Note tagline.
Half of America has lost its way. Pray that the Love of God will bring them back miraculously to the Light of Truth.
