We can't just treat diseases. We also have to do a better job of preventing them by understanding what causes them, especially if the incidence is rising and we don't have any idea why.
Do you not realize the TREMENDOUS STRIDES medicine has made the last 100 years? In medical imaging alone (X-rays were not routinely available until the 30's), the MRI has led to no laparotomies (lets open you up and see hat is happening with all the attendant infections) The germ theory was not an accepted fact until the turn of the last century.
