That sounds perfectly fine to me. I very much profit from the fact that humanity has been healing people for centuries, because it means that treatments, hospitals, and a whole education system to educate doctors and nurses exist.

The fact that some John Doe survived his surgery in 1923 and made a recovery doesn't help me much at all.

Sounds ridiculous, actually. /j
