Todays leading knowledge on diseases wont be leading to improved treatments for them for roughly 15 years. A possobly revolutionary medication entering clinical trials today will be taking quite some time before you get to try it. Progress in Healthcare stems from one recognizing an opportunity to increase their wealth. Thoigh sometimes governments do fund development of treatments that a Drug Company wouldnt see much opportunity in. And there is an endless amount of research on sites like Pubmed that you can read through. Just a click away.
