Never have I been so aware of my limitations...:-(

Well, I think this is making us all aware of our limitations. We have enjoyed a brief respite during the past 50 to 60 years from death and disability from infectious diseases and degenerative illnesses.

Along with the incredible advances in medical knowledge and technology has come the notion that we all are "entitled" to a solution to just about any medical catastrophe we can think of, and if we do not get it, by gum, we are gonna sure sue someone as fast as we can, for as much as we can.

And, then we complain about the inevitable consequences of our own foolishly unrealistic expectations!
