The Good Samaritans sound great Fi - i was
very releaved to see that they are not
religiously sponsored.I guess the more developed the country,
the more likely it is to have internet
service in hospitals. It's the way
of the world right now. We should consider
ourselves privileged with this kind of
service.Troubled and poor regions have so many
problems that internet chat about your
medical condition is a luxury. You're
lucky to have a medic to treat you there. I heard the sorry news that Doctors Without Borders are evacuating Iraq.Maybe the internet will spread to those
regions. Some people have the means and
are resourceful enough to do that -- e.g.
I just heard a story of a physicist,
who started a company ADAPTIVE EYEWARE,
to provide eye glass lenses filled with
water and distribute them to poor populations
free or really cheap.Think President Bush could get some
capital together and scientists to work
on projects like that ? :-}Well, enough of that.
