Speed of operation or lumps of labor per second is not the only applicable metric and, outside of certain cases, it's not a very good one. Average patient health (arguably an ill-defined term) has many ways of being assessed:

* Fewer deaths from preventable diseases

* Breakthroughs in pharmaceutical research production

* New and improved medical devices to counter chronically debilitating sicknesses

* An increase in elective surgeries with fewer long-term effects

* Increased longevity across the globe
