We're going to have a glut of seniors and senior healthcare over the next 20 years.
One of the things that blows my mind right now is that someone developed toilets in Japan that can screen urine for early stages of cancer anytime someone uses the restroom. If it's that easy I'm a bit stunned as to why we aren't all lining up, heck - as an insurance requirement - to get our urine tested as such every year. In a way we have fewer and fewer excuses for cancer to be caught anywhere later than stage 1 or stage 2. This is one of the areas where I'd really like to see the government get involved - ie. huge step up in preventative health care distribution and implementation.
That's far too efficient. Don't you know it takes 8 years of medical school before a guy can take a take a urine sample and send it to a lab, read back the results from the lab to the patient, sign a form saying I can take 2 days of work due to having a cold, or sign a form saying I'm still ok to drive with my unchanging medical condition.
If only they didn't waste so much doctors time on form signing they'd have more time to devote to sick people.
