Better general medical science. So much of what we use is very old tech. We still can’t regrow cartligage. We still pin bones together with titanium screws. We still mostly use fiberglass casts (though better alternatives exist). We still catch the common cold.

When I went to the hospital for a broken bone, I thought this tech was already there since tech was advancing so quickly, going from Pac-Man to Super Mario 64 in 16 years.

That was 30 years ago.

The thing is, we could do that right now. But it’s more expensive and increases patient exposure to radiation and is just unnecessary. Right too for the job, if it ain’t broke etc.
