Why do we need medicine?

I'm aware medicine has been always being with humans. Still, I am wonder about the role of the medicine from our Era and its purpose:

Without medicine, we could had die since before born. During birth, or childhood. As adults, with common infections. The point is: a lot of us could not reach this far in life. And... that would be okay. So there's my doubt...

if medicine's purpose is to extend life, or said it in other words, kick death until next time (many times), then why don't we accept the fact that our life is shorter, delicate and painful than we imagine?

I'm not trying to be apocalyptic or whatever lol~ I just need a logical explanation for our behaviour and actual consciousness in this Era related to that subject ๐Ÿ˜…

    The best medicine is eating healthy, exercising and having a positive attitude, being grateful. Disease begins in the energy centers of the body, the chakras. Western medicine treats the symptoms, not the cause. Yes we have medical technology that extends life, but true health is not trying to rely on an outside entity to prevent you from dying. Itโ€™s to learn how to heal yourself with natural methods unless itโ€™s some kind of an emergency. When medicine became tied up with pharmaceuticals and exorbitant costs, it stopped being about healing and started to be about greed.
