Got curious about torsion in horses while reading All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. The book takes place in the 1930s, but when I did a quick search it seems it is as deadly now.
ETA: By veterinary medicine I mean all treatments, including surgery, not just drugs.

Despite all medical advancements in general, some diseases/conditions didn’t have any advancements at all.
There are multiple examples, veterinary or not, were the condition is now better understood, but there is still no cure and therefore the chances and outcome essentially didn’t change.
