The vast majority of what we do is just trying to get the body to a spot where it can manage the issue itself because we don't have the means to do it ourselves.

Personalized medicine is the frontier that everyone has been trying to break into since the race to decode the human genome. What a lot of people don't realize is that for every drug that goes to market there are thousands of promising candidates that are shelved due to a small population of adverse effects.

Now imagine what we can do if we can screen for those effects. Overnight the market would be flooded with powerful, effective medications with much fewer side effects. And that's just medical drugs.

As someone with chronic issues, the amount of timed doctors just shrug and give up is kinda high.

Thats what I like House M.D. though, because it's basically a Sherlock show, there's always an answer. Unlike in real life, where they just send you home without actually figuring things out. I've had like 8 seizures in the last 10 years and still the best I've got it "idk, MRI seemed clear" and that's all.
