there was a guy who came out here from the US last year. to give a few talks, and one, in particular, to the old awful people who don't even have very much money... anyway, it was about the future of cancer care for our country. he said it would basically be surgery. his focus was thoracic. the people were disappointed. i guess that's the reality, though. we aren't going to trade for latest cancer drugs any time soon and let's face it we aren't in the position to properly look after and administer medications that need, oh, refridgeration, or fancy things like that... he said something about how registration is something else... but they could take someone and teach them how to do cancer surgeries of the lungs... i wonder where he was from / where he was thinking... anyway... glitterworld surgery is probably pretty pointless, yes. the trouble with orthopedics is that there is a new zealand specialist training program for it. which is just to say that there is a bunch of people who think they are orthopedic surgeons which is just to say that the government already thinks it has orthopedic surgeons. i think it is a weird blend of 'i stuck a needle into your knee with some local and now you say you feel better' and 'medical device representative scrubbed in and assembled implant devise according to manufacturer instructions'... but people feel mighty special thinking that they are orthopedic surgeons... i mean to say... i don't know that there's any way to actually get to do it when you have a bunch of people thinking that is what they get to do (while doing something else entirely)...
people from here get to go to harvard...
i think it's a way of making them think they have equity. distracting them from the fact they aren't getting clinical training. orthopedics is... doing statistics / public health stuffs on the knee operations i mentioned earlier... getting to go to america is getting to study public health and other non clinical things at harvard for half a year or a year...
anyway...
so many microbes. so many differnet kinds of agar...
