>>>Damn, that sounds AWFUL.
Exactly. *I* could practice medicine (with ZERO training/skills)
and better serve a patient than 1/2 of the worthless medical staff.
I could tell other stories from relatives and friends of their
experiences also, but I think I'll leave it be for now. I think
my story alone paints a fairly accurate picture of the situation.
>>>Where are they hiding those vampires anyway?
LOL. Probably hidden in plain sight, along with the Daoists and other
immortality seekers that the common man knows nothing of. :)
>>>I think the ineptitude may be increased . . . [stuff snipped]
>>>. . . I think when it is socialized, there may be more
>>>effort towards prevention and a raised awareness towards health.
You make some valid points. I guess it remains to be seen how
all this "health reform" that's being debated in Washington
comes out of the wash. It's certainly a big mess right now,
both in the debate and the actual current care. Nothing but a
big debacle . . .

>>>Yo-men farmers and artisan crafts men.
The only way for this to happen is if somehow the hive mind can
break free of the vicious disease called CONSUMERISM. People
are too in love with being workaholics so that they can buy
crap they don't need and pay for ongoing utilities whose
sole purpose is to allow them to continue to be workaholics.
Technological trinkets such as I-Pods, I-Phones, Blackberries,
portable Hi-def TVs, etc . . . as well as other "Boy-toys"
for men such as expensive cars, snowmobiles, etc, AS WELL AS
similar other useless junk like jewelry and designer clothes for women.
It's all useless crap basically. Costs a lot to buy; costs a lot
to maintain. We're not humans; we are squirrels. Squirrels
looking for more nuts to add to our nutpile, for no other reason
than our purpose is to make the nutpile bigger . . . and waste
our time working to try to fill that purpose.
