OTOH, the women living under the Taliban didn't even have medical care at all, miracle or no, because the regime wouldn't let women become physicians, and wouldn't let male physicians treat women. So many died from disease and problems in childbirth. Catch 22, I think they call it. It should be pointed out that during doctor strikes, death rates drop! When they go back to work, they rise again. It should also be pointed out that the "stats" you are reporting pertain only to the "developed" world, not to a Taliban-like regime where nobody has freedom to do anything. You said "during doctor strikes". When/where were these? Straight question. -- Polar |

You said "during doctor strikes". When/where were these? Straight question. Some have been in the United States. Another one was in Israel. I brought up this bit of trivia realizing that it was not the whole story. I think that it i8s just a matter of hastening the death of seriously ill people by extreme treatments. Sorry, I'm not following. Sounds like several things got mixed up in there. "Extreme treatments", I took to mean the extraordinary measures taken in the last approx. 6 months of a seriously-ill person, usually a senior. Sometimes these are taken against the will of the patient, because the hospital/doctor is afraid of legal problems.. Sometimes the patient is unable to make their wishes known, and the family members can't/won't make the decision. For this reason, I long ago executed a "Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care". It spells out exactly what I do/don't want done if I am not capable of making my own health decisions. I have no intention of living on as a vegetable full of tubes. Perhaps I have wandered off your thesis; will now step down from pulpit g. But I still think everybody should execute such a document, even -- or especially! -- young people. Anybody can have a terrible accident that leaves them comatose... Doctor strikes usually do not last long enough for long term failure to show up. I suspect they have been very, very few... -- Polar |

OT but funny: "God's Diet Plan"
Appears Satan provided "fries" before God brought forth the potato.
Seems nothing is impossible. -Olin "CWilde" wrote in message ... ROFL! Good One! Carlotta "Polar" wrote in message ... God's Diet Plan And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach and green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent double-cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man, "You want fries with that?" And Man said, "Super size them." And Man gained pounds. And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that man found so fair. And Satan froze the yogurt, and he brought forth chocolate, nuts and brightly colored sprinkle candy to put on the yogurt. And woman gained pounds. And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad." And Satan brought forth creamy dressings, bacon bits, and shredded cheese. And there was ice cream for dessert. And woman gained pounds. And God said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them." And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak from Cracker Barrel so big it needed its own platter And Man gained pounds, and his bad cholesterol went through the roof. And God brought forth running shoes, and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds. And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained pounds. And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil." And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And he created sour cream dip also. And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw and said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest. And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery..... And Satan created HMOs... -- Polar |
