During the 60's we had the 6 million dollar man who was our latest version of Superman. He had crashed his air force jet with a faulty parachute so they replaced every joint and every muscle with bionic parts. What would you get today for 6 million ? Probably a heart transplant, a hip replacement ,and a nose job.

Yep I had to laugh at the time. They spent $6 million and he could only run in slow motion :-)
This was my left arm 5 years ago. Who'da known you could break that little nub on yer elbow. Turns out it's very important as the tricep is attached to it.
I've had one shoulder surgery and a few on the elbows [some cleaning arthroscopically and some "open"].... most improved things, the last two on an elbow [the second one to correct things screwed up by the first] arguably made things worse than how it started out. C'est la vie??
It's been a while, surely Dr. Nick qualifies as "modern medicine":
In college, a center, I launched myself at a blitzing linebacker. My right arm ended between the charging legs of the lb. I heard a loud pop, before the pain hit. Trouble was, my bones held. So the elbow joint gave out, doubling my arm back the wrong direction. I still have an odd bump of bone in there. Still suffered occasional blacksmith elbow, or tennis elbow, or both combined. Then I took up banjo. It sure beat blacksmithing as a hobby! Brad
How does the cow manage to put the coin in, to start the machine?
That's why they have cloven hooves. The cows without them died out millions of years ago. Darwin, natural selection, evolution, survival of the fittest, and all that.
OK, who's gonna be the first BHO member to buy one of these? Steampunk robot banjo lamp. There are only 89 days left until Christmas and other late year holidays...
Back in the pre-Darwin days, the Ancient Legends told of a Time when cows had solid feet, just like horses. And plants were very VERY hard. And the cows wanted to eat the plants, but were Forbidden to do so. Which made them very angry. So they stomped on the plants, but the plants were SO hard that they split the cow's feet!
Which is why the cow's feet are now referred to as "cloven", and the species of plant that split them is referred to as the "clovers".
Good news is, the cows and the plants worked out a treaty, a workable relationship, where the plants would be soft enough to eat, and the cows, in gratitude, would fertilize the fields of clover, providing important nutrients.
