    Tonight’s Ask PHLemmy: What have you survived that would’ve killed you 150 years ago?

      There are too many to mention.

      Insulin, for starters, is just a hundred years old. If you were T1 or LADA back in the day, you’re pretty much dead. Whereas I survived like 2-4 hospitalizations for related illnesses.

      I’d like to think that 150 years from now, cancer would be seen as that generation’s polio.
