America's Medical Mess: Economic Solution

The medical crisis in America in all its manifestations is all due to
one underlying problem: There are not enough doctors. And no solution
is going to be adequate until this problem is fixed.

The low number of doctors limits supply of medical care. This causes
three problems at once. First, according to simple mathematics and
economics, low supply amid growing demand means exhorbitantly high
prices. Secondly, low number of doctors means that thedoctors are
overworked, and overworked people make mistakes that they would not
makeunder normal conditions. This results in disastrous errors that
kill or cripple the patient. Thirdly, because of these mistakes, there
is huge amount of malpractice lawsuits; which mean high insurance
prices for doctors, which either have to be absorbed by doctors
themselves, or passed down to the patient.

All these problems – high prices, medical errors, and huge malpractice
insurance costs – have been the bane of American medicine in recent
decades.

And only by addressing the problem at the root, can any meaningful or
lasting solution be affectuated.

How can this then be solved? How can America increase its number of
medical professionals? There are two possible directions to take, and
I believe both are rightful. One, is to tap into supply of medical
professionals abroad or from abroad. The other, is to increase the
number of domestic doctors.

The first is already taking place, as people are going to Canada,
India or Russia for operations. And they are right to do so. In
countries where there are adequate doctors who do not earn enough
money at home, Americans going for operations or treatment gives these
doctors a better way to make a living and rewards their skill, their
education and their work, while also giving the patient adequate
treatment for less cost and less wait. But unless America is to see
its domestic medical system whittle away, there needs to be a greater
number of doctors at home, which means either: a greater number of
licensed foreign doctors; a greater number of American doctors; or
both.

The first of this means an intelligent licensing system for foreign
doctors that assures their quality without being needlessly lengthy or
bureaucratic. The second means this: Increase the number of medical
schools. The more medical schools, the greater the number of medical
school admissions and graduations, the more domestic doctors.
Furthermore, with greater number of medical schools, there will be
adequate competition among them, leading to reduced tuition costs.
This will open the door for many promising students, many of whom
either cannot afford medical school financially or cannot get in
because of needlessly small number of admissions to medical school.

And while socialist solutions can alleviate the strain for the
patients, it is only by addressing the structural problem that the
situation can be resolved in a meaningful and lasting way. The
solution, is to increase the number of doctors. The extent to which it
is done by Americans going to foreign doctors, by America bringing in
foreign doctors, or by increasing the number of medical school
admissions and graduations, will determine the extent to which other
countries get the business, the extent to which foreigners living in
America get the business, or the extent to which Americans get the
business of American people in need of medical care.

How To Prevent Bodybuilding Injuries

As a bodybuilder you are going to be training hard, so it is essential
that you do your utmost to take care of your muscles and prevent
injury. Before you do anything you should read up on safe bodybuilding
practices such as proper lifting techniques, warming up and cooling
down. Here we shall discuss some tips on how to stay safe down the
gym.
This Is Essential…
The most important thing that you should do is a proper warm up
followed by a warm down at the end of you session. Spend at least 15
minutes warming up; 5 minutes of light aerobic exercise such as
jogging then 10 minutes of stretching to loosen off and prepare your
body for activity. Lift some light weights before you get started on
the serious stuff to prepare your muscles for the stress you’re about
to put them under.
Know Your Limits
The next important thing you should know is your limits for each
exercise, everyone is different, so don’t try to lift more than you
feasibly can, as you could get injured. Make sure that your workout is
intense, but never sacrifice good form to try and lift heavier
weights, as this is a recipe for disaster. If you are lifting weights
you should be able to do at least eight reps, if you can’t, reduce the
weight until you build up your strength. You’ll get better results by
pushing yourself close to your max than you will if you overexert
yourself. You’ll find you’ll get better definition and muscle increase
by being close to this threshold than trying in vain to train above
it….

Creatinine count of 130. Worry?

I have been a type 1 diabetic since 1958. Health is reasonably good
and hba1 at last chack was 7.1
Insulin is currently Novorapid 3 times a day and Levemir 2 times a
day.
I saw the diabetic nurse for routine check-up  yesterday and the
results of a blood test taken a month ago were OK except for one
thing (which I have never heard of before).
She referred to Creatinine and said my count was 130 – when I asked
what this was about she referred to the kidney function, and said the
normal count was 80.
I have now read several articles about this e.g., on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatinine
(as I say, I have never even heard of this before), and it appears
this is a problem with diabetes that can have serious consequences.
The article doesn’t say the normal count is 80 as the nurse said,
but 60-110 ?mol/L in a man,
Furthermore, I also read that it is lower in vegetarians. As I have
been vegetarian since 1978, I would have thought my count would
therefore, definitely be lower than 130.

I have to do a urine specimen and return it to the surgery next week
for more tests.

Is the situation I have described above anything/something to be
very  concerned about?

Thanks

David
