Thousands of years have passed and the study of medicine has still been the same. We still study the same human body in the same shape and form as it was when ape first evolved into man. The way we practice medicine may have become a bit more what we call, “humane” but the actual substance and ultimate goal has been the same throughout time—to keep the human body healthy! We still have the same body that functions the same way as it did eons ago, only our way of looking at it has changed--from gross to microscopic to molecular. We seem to be learning more and more about the same matter of fact but medicine itself has not changed!
Take a look at another profession—law for instance. You take any law from any time period it will not hold true today, in fact quite far from the law not working; it wouldn’t even make sense if read out loud today. Law is constantly being challenged, condemned, and reformed. It conforms to the way we evolve in our society and is constantly changing.
Business has also been changing and cannot be run today the same way it did a century ago! The industries have changed; trade is now corporate, and factories are manufacturing different products. Investment banking has a whole new definition than it did twenty-five years ago--there were no computers to check stocks second by second or to buy and sell at the click of a button. The more we interact with the world, the smaller it gets.
From Ovid to Shakespeare to Steinbeck; our style of writing, theater, literature and even the humor we appreciate in books or television shows has diversified significantly. From Socrates to Nietzsche to Marx; philosophy, theology; our way of thinking and being has transformed because our way of existing has changed. Technology has been revolutionizing the world! Our government—well too much to say about that, --I’ll shut up now…
But just think of ten important people,... any ten famous names...
....
none of them are doctors.. i rest my case...
average doctor saves 20 lives in his career... sure it changes their families' lives....
if one makes a law... it changes millions of peoples' lives..
if one makes an invention--it changes billions of peoples' lives...
if one does business... it changes your own life...

Medicine has changed, Habits have changed. Average living age used to be 30 years and this has steadily gone up to 72 now and they
say with health habits promulagated this would be 90 in the next 20.
What you say Average Dr. saves 12 lives, Most of them in surgery and
other save a lot more.
And are offered good blessings.
How many inventions succeed to that level. Their can be only few
Einsteins, Newtons, Gates.
How many are slogging.
Most of basic laws are made. It is the politicians who ammend. Most hate lawyers you win or loose, They are cursed.
Business if you succed you make a lot of Money -MONEY, MONEY MONEY then what you slog and leave it for others what satisfaction who blesses you, Have you
earned any good will. A Business person cannot be a good human being, He has to be sneaky, may be cheat or manipulate, may be dupe others or whatever means.
I still remember our family Dr. and and others who helped my parents and your father as a child.
Dad
