Something in the news about the renaming of a planetary observation platform (telescope) caused me to think about the advances in the science of human medicine. I have worked in healthcare more than forty years and have witnessed all kinds of great ideas, advancements, groundbreaking therapies, medications that came and left due to dangerous side effects and so on. Some inventions were worth keeping and some were cast aside.
Persons of all disciplines must be careful how they view past history and try not to bash it too much. After all, your own history might become controversial later on too.
We did a lot of things back then
That we don’t do now,
Heck, we didn’t even have the science
To clone a cow.
So don’t take it upon yourself
To destroy our reputations,
We saved thousands of lives
And deserve salutations.
