It's fair to say that breakthroughs in modern medicine and health engineering help us live better and longer. Without these cuttingedge procedures, therapies, and other highly-researched drugs, the world would assuredly be a lot different. Now imagine the following plausible scenarios: Natural disasters. Major shortages. Nuclear conflict. Refugees by the millions. Oversaturated hospitals, looted pharmacies, and collapsing healthcare. When you can't refill a simple prescription or visit the emergency room, what happens then? While these do sound like frightening prospects, they force us to confront a grave reality: Ushering in an era of uncertainty, the world we know is undergoing major overhauls.

Such overhauls will make us question everything we've taken for granted for decades. How we interact, work, commute, and most importantly, how we treat and cure ourselves when our health is in danger.
