Someday we’ll wave magic wands to cure anything, I suppose

I read a lot of medical and health news online most days, because as I grow older and suffer “old guys” aches and pains I find I have a more personal stake in medical advances than I used to.

I’m waiting for something “Star Trek” like that will allow us to wave magic wands over our bodies and find healing for all our ailments. That may be a long ways off yet, but everything I read about laser and “light” treatments for various ailments I think about such stuff.

I saw a story just recently about treating acne and acne scarring with some sort of “blue light” devices. The story spoke of one which had just been approved for over-the-counter, home usage. I have no idea how such stuff works, what the costs are, or anything else. I do have one very close family member who’s been struggling with acne outbreaks — some pretty severe — from late childhood into “senior” years. Maybe this is something to look into.

Whether it’s for the best acne treatment or some new form of quick and painless surgery, let us applaud medical science for all the wonders we have. And let us continue to hope and pray for constant improvements. Maybe someday that magic wand era will get here and medical research will finally catch up with our best fantasies!
