Actually there are strides in medicine because universities recruit great thinkers to do research and teach there. It may interest you to know that one of the best med schools in the US designed it's program based on the McMaster (yes, here in Canada) medical schools approach. Oh, and the really great thinkers and innovators have traditionally not been interested in making $$$ off what they have created, they take pride in knowing that they are an innovator. Most of the people that are making money off ideas have stolen them from someone else, look at Bill Gates, etc.
