Presumably none of us here are inventors of new medical technology. We are just amateurs talking about this casually on Hacker News. Saying it's "unacceptable" doesn't change anything from either the doctor or patient's point of view. Until the new tech comes along, we need to accept the limitations of what we have now.
I agree with you, but I think the original point was that we may already have technologies that could be employed, but that there is concern they are not being used
