1968:
Baby Boomers were much younger then, and consuming chemicals for recreational purposes, not medical ones.
Cardiology: The world's first heart transplant occurred in 1967. In 1968, this was still a rare procedure, the subject of medical journals. In related news, the first Big Mac is sold in 1968.
Influenza: Prior to the H1N1 resurgence in 2009-2010 1968-1969 was the last influenza pandemic. 34,000 Americans died, although the virus originated in Hong Kong (sorry, I didn't find fatalities) Amantadine would be your doctors likely prescription. This is one of 4 antivirals used to combat influenza A, but highly resistant strains now exist, so it is of limited use.
Parkinson's: This is the first year that Parkinson's patients are given levodopa, still the only effective treatment for alleviating symptoms, despite its long-term ineffectiveness, and the side effect of dyskinesia (uncontrollable movement) Interestingly enough, the antiviral amantadine is often a first line drug for Parkinson's, in an effort to delay the useful window of levodopa.
Reproductive: Oral contraceptives are available for about a decade now. Word finally hits the Vatican, and the Pope is displeased. :(
Pulmonary: Everybody still smokes.
