Need a ride? An Uber will be waiting for you. We have fast food, and Uber eats, so we don't have to be bothered to cook or even leave our houses for food anymore. We're spoiled, and even entitled when it comes to our time. However, when it comes to health and healing, things haven't caught up with the times. Although medicine has come a very long way, nothing is instant. The magic pill hasn't been invented yet.
