Yes, whatever. If not for America, we’d still be using leeches to treat people, yeah I get it.

Actually, Britain still makes medical breakthroughs. The problem is the NHS system dosent make the best use of them.

My point was the money for research is just not there like it is in the US. Cost containment is very important and at this conference was about 95% of the research presented. By the way, my mother in law had successful leech therapy here several years ago.
