Sarcoma

It has been said that medicine is an unusual industry in that its goal is to make itself obsolete. That may be the case in some circumstances, but I would say that it not likely to happen any time soon. In some areas of medicine, we may be closer to reducing the need for our services, while in other areas we are certainly generating increased demand for services. Also, given that health care as economic entity writ large represents approximately one-fifth of the US gross domestic product, there are substantial forces at play that must assure that any downward pressure on the need for medical care will be incremental at best.
