Medical Miracles Prior to 1950’s, cancer was thought to be untreatable. Development of radiation and chemotherapy in 1950s --helped many cancer patients survive. Heart disease/Heart attacks: CPR technique was introduced. -also first mechanical heart valves and pacemakers in Tuberculosis: lung disease that was known as “white plague.

Polio: polio epidemics had been occurring in the US since 1916.
