How different would your life have been without modern medicine? How many times might you have died by now if it wasn't for modern medicine?

I was born with a congenital hip defect. I guess it wouldn’t have killed me, but it would have crippled me.

I had horribly crooked teeth. Wouldn’t kill me, but it would have contributed to the crippling.

Very, very, VERY bad eyesight. Legally blind.

So imagine, if you will, a female who is crippled, blind, and, by the looks of her teeth MUST be mentally deficient. What kind of life could I have expected to live?

I had my tonsils out when I was 6 or 7.

I had a burst ectopic pregnancy at 34.

I had pneumonia in 2012 that almost killed me.

Most recently I’ve been dealing with cranky sodium levels and that can kill you.
