  Would you still be alive?

If you lived back in, say, the middle ages before modern medicine, surgery, and good doctors, do you think you would have survived as long as you have? Do you have any illnesses that, without proper treatment, would have killed or crippled you by now? Any surgeries that were done when you were younger that saved your life?
You don't have to answer all those questions, just this one: Would you still be alive right now?

I'd probably be dead..What with falling through glass and having appendicitis..The appendicitis would have most certainly killed me..It kinda almost did in modern day, anyway. If that had killed me I woulda been dead for..8 years now.

Icurok did this just over a year ago...

I would still be alive, had there not been an outbreak of TB, etc, but my eyesight would have held me back quite a lot.

I don't know. I've been vaccinated for a bunch of things that could theoretically have killed me. I haven't had any illnesses or medical problems that would have killed me without other medical intervention, though.

Well, it's more complicated than that.

My first emergency surgery was because of bike/car collision. There were no cars (and maybe no bikes!)... so it would have been unnecessary.

My second emergency surgery was due to a placental abruption... I certainly might have died without the surgery, but back in medieval times - I probably would not have grown up on processed sugars, causing me to develop diabetes.. which contributed to the complications.

My third emergecy surgery was because of a mistake that a doctor made during a kidney stone surgery.... One, I probably wouldn't have developed the stone back during those times because I would work a more physical job and my diet would be less laden with processed garbage. B, if I did develop a stone, I would just f'n deal with it.

So.... while I could have died without any of the medical interventions that I had --- Chances are, I wouldn't even have needed the interventions in the first place.

*check* Yea I'd be alive and strong.


If I lived back then, motorcycles would not have been invented, I would not of had my accident which would eventually put me in the hospital teetering on the brink of death! But what the hell they had horses so I probably would have had my ass dumped on the road by a horse instead of a motorcycle. Who knows?

I have to admit Melf you get maximum mileage out of your avatars! They are even more fun if I imagine that I actually understand the humor behind it while I do not want to seem presumptuous I sense a deep-rooted personal message conveyed. You always have a really obvious choice of avatars that always catches the eye and won’t let go, it is just always right there!

Nope, with all my allergies as a child they would have surely just left me in a field to die or something.

Nope, I'd be dead for years now............... I had pneumonia @ 2yrs old and was under an oxygen tent, I dont think I would have survived in the middle ages

*smile* Thanks! I prefer it when an image just pops out at me, like with this one and the galaxies, than going looking for one. There was actually a shot from a program I downloaded the other day and I wrote the time down to retrieve it later...

No. I have poor genetics, and not a strong will to live unless I have things to enjoy. And, considering my childhood disabilities, I would have died at a young age.

From the middle ages to now? No I'd been dead for hundreds of years by now.
