Actually, it's a point I don't think I've ever seen raised in Crystal
Tokyo fanfics. What was Endymion's words?: "Most people were given
immortality" or something along those lines. If people didn't need
doctors anymore, due to the ginzuisho, how would Ami feel? Sure, she
can do other scientific stuff, but medicine certainly appears to
be her dream(not her only one, since she delayed a scholarship to
do some senshi-ing). ... what can a doctor do in a city of
immortals? I've seen a couple of fics where the future Sailor Venus
goes nuts, but not Mercury. That would be curious.

	Immortality may not mean perfect health and invincibility.
Im not sure about how it was meant into the SM, but
IMHO, immortals still may have the troubles with health,
the doctors are meant from. And even if theyr bodies is
perfect, what about their minds? All the mental 
problems?
	And also, if only to bring in the comical 
element - there was a fairytale about goddess who
fall in love with mortal, and asked the main God
to grant him immortality. Yet she forgot to ask
Forever_Youth, and poor lover turned old, lost his
mind and at the end turned into light...
