How medical research help our community?

If we had no medical research, we wouldn't have any strong medicines or new surgical techniques.





We would have to perform operations without first putting the patient to sleep.





We wouldn't have antibiotics. People would go deaf from ear infections. Any cut on the skin that got infected could lead to amputation. A great many people would die from bronchitis, pneumonia and appendicitis.





One-sixteenth of all women would die in childbirth.





Diabetes would automatically lead to blindness and foot amputations.





There would be no pain relief.





Depression and mental illness would lead to a much lower quality of life for the sufferer and their family.





Anyone needing an organ transplant would die instead.





Premature babies wouldn't have a chance at life.





Anyone who has ever suffered a heart attack or stroke would either die or have to live with the effects of the illness.
