Mei_Mei_girl Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 OK. I care about people a great deal as i believe all of us do on here. However, I care about my family much more then anyone else. I agree, If I didn't experience the death in my family I probably wouldn't feel as strongly about the issue. It seems the things we care so strongly for are those that affect/ed us and our families personally. There's alot of issues that can be argued back and forth (private care vs public care etc etc). And to be quite honest I don't know enough about them thorougly to tamper into them. Im saying at this point in time a major factor is what happened to my family in my own rationale thinking. I recognize my previous post is a drop in an ocean towards influencing people -- money and "taking care of themselves" are where the real deals are cut for people.

Microbiodude Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 However, If you want to discuss waiting lists maybe we should consider incorporating private medicine with public medicine on a larger scale. I believe they tried an experiment in Manitoba. The result was that if physicians split their hours between private and public, wait times increased at both sectors. If they chose either to practice private or public...the public wait times increase something like 3-fold (can't remember the numbers). I think it was published in CMAJ.

rmorelan Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I couldn't move to Dubai after reading this article:http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/the-dark-side-of-dubai-1664368.html wow...... yeah, if that article is correct I don't think I could either. Although I am not sure any other country would have developed that fast either without similar issues. It is almost like examining western countries 100-150 years ago. We weren't really any better.

Cnussey Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 It kind of reminds you of Orwell's "1984" doesn't it. I really can't stand Orwell's writing (although intelligent, the books are an aweful read). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foster84 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I couldn't move to Dubai after reading this article:http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/the-dark-side-of-dubai-1664368.html I remember reading that article on Dubai a few months ago. It was unsettling to say the least, especially I had recently watched the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Marketing for jobs in Dubai contain, well, a lot of marketing. They want to make everything look good and problem-free, more desirable than how it is where you are currently located. But if you look deeper, like every country the social system is very complex and you won't know all the details sometimes until you are directly involved. I'm not saying that no one should move there, just that they should be aware that travel brochures are marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
