Journo joyful over death of a Health Care CEO - is blasted as unhinged

It is more fun criticizing

A  journo, Taylor Lorenz  felt joyful over the death of United Health Care CEO Bryan Lorenz.  While we do not need to be sad over death, neither must we be joyful, especially if it was a case of murder.    (even if said business practice are questionable)

She wished the executives dead.   She will be in the same league as the PHL VP and must be investigaged and charged.

Ai excels MDs in nueroimaging competition 2-0

It is more fun criticizing

Can AI make better dx in complicated DX?  Will this mean an end to the era of expensive MD consultation and treatment?

Will it it mean better treatment?  Better quality of life?





First AI Hospital in China can treat 3,000 patients daily

It is more fun criticizing

Artificial intelligence was predicted to revolutionize health care  It is now happening,. By second half of 2024, the first AI hospital in China will open (It is not US).   It is a virtual hospital.   It is going to be lean.  I surmise that cases books, procedures will form the database.  The AI doctors will do the DX and RX treatment 

Only 14 Ai doctors will run the hospital and will be called Hospital Agent

Comments say that it could not happen in US, where Boards, Licensing, govt, protect the doctors.

But definitely, costs will go down, healthcare costs will diminish and complaints about exorbitant health care will vanish.  Demand for health care professionals will diminish, medical schools will collapse, but demand for AI doctors and AI experts will increase.

Will this be coming to the Philippines soon to save Philhealth from bankruptcy?

Shall AI end pandemics like Covid 19?

After the political noise has died down, we find out that Duterte has plenty of achievements

It is more fun criticizing

https://www.manilastandard.net/opinion/columns/virtual-reality-by-tony-lopez/361011/duterte-s-seven-biggest-achievements.html





Before all we hear were the barrage vs. Duterte mostly directed vs. the government response to Covid19, the Pharmaly, and the number of deaths in the drug war.  

As in all discrediting campaign vs a leader, the  protagonist is always pictured as the villain and devil.  The anger of the  other "commissioners"is so rabid that UN and ICC were involved.   How sad.

But Duterte accomplished the following:

1.  Via Tugade and Mark Villar -  long road network, bridges,  train lines, over passes, sky ways.;

2.  He did not bring the country to war on WPS.  Many can talk but its hard to do otherwise if you are dealing with XI who has the largest navy in the world and variety of missile firepower.   How can you dislodge these imperialists if they are all ready well installed by the previous regime

3.  Modernization of the military after beefing up salary.  Now we have more helicopters and transport plane,jet fighters, frigates and patrol boats.  No other administration has done that.  Now China would be more circumspect in bullying our countrymen.  So with our terrosists.   The Cobra attack helicopters has thermograph detectors and men in forest covers cant hide. 

4.  Beefing up of relief and rescue operations.    We have better response although it seemed many underestimated the power of Odette.  

5.  Aggressive betterment of civil servants.   Maybe buildings and facilities were improved.  and decorum of civil servants

6.  Free education

7.  Universal health care.

It is unfortunate that his administration has to face one of the toughtest test of any govt:   the covid19 pandemic.  And the calamities.   

Let us not totally believe what the other trolls print in their social media.   See through the squid ink and find the  truth

Consolidation of the Health Care System by a Business Mogul

Reflections

Many hospitals in the PHL are being bought by mogul who has consolidated the utilities so far:  broadcast TV, tollways, electricity, and lately hospitals.  At the end of the day, he would have controlled vital industries to the country.  Health for instance.

His group which owns several hospital all ready, got last year almost half billion in profits which is substantial.

Will this acquisition improve the quality and cost of health care in the country.

It is an area that government as it is in the habit of, to look into.  Will the cost of health care go up?

Will it be less affordable to our all ready suffering populace?  What must the government do to counter this continuous commercialization of health care?

Shall we go by way of Eastern medicine?  What must we do to cater to the masses of people who can not afford basic health care?
