MRI was only invented in 1977, first commercial CT scanner came out in 1970’s, same for ultrasound. Before 1970’s we didn’t have antiviral drugs or DNA sequencing
Medicine a hundred years ago was brutal and medieval
We're all high and mighty with our moderns scanners, yet we still do surgery with chisels and hammers, drill teeth, put broken bones in plaster, have sick people congregate all in one place so they get infected with each other's diseases plus get some antibiotic resistant bacteria or two on top. And well, whatever the hell they do in the ER. Medicine is still pretty brutal when it comes down to it.
