Medicine in the far out 70's?! Oh yeah!
In the 1970's, there were many medicines created and improved from labeling to the medicine it's self! Of course there are so many others, but these examples will give you an idea on what had changed history because of the 1970s!
There were many first vaccines in the 1970s. In 1970 exactly, there was the first vaccine for Rubella (also known as german measles). In 1974, there was the first vaccine for Chicken Pox. In 1977, there was the first vaccine for pneumonia, and in 1978, there was the first vaccine for meningitis. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/, a vaccine is a preperation, or shot, that helps to become immune to a disease.
In 1974, there was a change in food labeling. It was very important, because now it listed nutrition information, and also showed per servings of saturated fat, cholesteral, and other nutrients that are a concern to some people about health. It also showed serving sizes so people knew what was best, and it helped people make more healthy choices. This was also important because it listed foods that some people have allergic reactions.

“Giorgio Fischer a gynecologist invented liposuction
Liposuction (or lipoplasty) is a technique in which excess fatty tissue is suctioned from beneath the skin. Prior to surgery, doctors flush the targeted area or areas with a solution composed of lidocaine (a local anesthetic similar in its numbing effects to novocaine), saline, and epinephrine (a drug that constricts blood vessels and thus reduces bleeding during surgery).”

A pacemaker-like device, the implantable type of which was developed by M. Stephen Heilman, Michel Mirowski, Alois Langer and Morton Mower in the 1970s. The malfunction in the heart's natural electrical conduction system can cause an uncoordinated contraction of the heart muscle that may result in cardiac arrest. So this gadget is often employed to synchronize the electrical impulses with the resulting contractions.Source: HealthMad
