We might even fool ourselves into thinking we can heal everything. Unfortunately, this is nowhere near the truth. Not only can’t we cure everything, but we also make mistakes with treatment options available for a long time and are not in their early stages of development. Drugs for example can take away problems, have completely zero effects on the patient or even affect negatively his health condition.
