Are you kidding? Medicine isn't perfect and never will be but modern medicine has doubled life expectancies in the last 100 years, cured/prevented countless diseases, improved quality of life, and saved many millions of lives. It's one of the greatest triumphs of humanity and you are saying the record isn't there? I say you are a grade-A fool if you think that.
I'm a huge fan of / big believer in modern medicine, but there is good reason to believe that much of the increase in lifespan is due to improved sanitation of our living environments and foodsources.
