I think a lot of people forget that modern medicine is part of what allows most of us to be alive and live comfortably. I was born near sighted, so my option in life 200 years ago would have been; pick up a skill, become a tavern musician, or die.

As a random Canadian alive in 2025, I have better access to health services and lifesaving medicine than the emperors of Rome... Even better than Queen Victoria could have bought, as the ruler of the greatest empire the world has yet known.

A hot shower is a luxury no one beyond royalty had access too regularly until the 20th century. I don’t think some people understand that.
