Happy Halloween

 

1. Under Obamacare Medical School they’ll just go back to training and using barbers.  Need a little bloodletting and leeches to relieve those ‘bad humors’????

2. And along these lines - the diet ‘drug’ Meridia is being pulled from the market in (as the msm phrases it) a ‘voluntary’ recall. Seems you might lose weight but will probably die of a heart attack just after fitting in those skinny jeans.

   Medical school has been a joke for a while - most programs for Pediatricians, Family care and OBs - have breastfeeding, oops my bad, Infant Feeding as a Grand Round (meaning you pick to go if you want to) - with it being primarily about formula feeding (most Peds I talked to and studies show it is 3/4 formula to 1/4 breastfeeding). And a subsequent study done by a Doctor showed that only about 10% of the above 3 specialties that deal w/expectant and new mothers - got breastfeeding questions correct. How’s that for sound and good preventative medical training?

   And it will get worse with the forced quotas to ‘encourage’ more minorities into the medical field. Good luck with that - between money and a serious lack of educational ability I have a nephew who took his ‘medical’ training somewhere very, very south of the border (or was it in the Caribbean?). And that is what is headed for all of us.

   Try this on for size (pass it on to your friends too)

   The Truth About the Healthcare Bill
   August 12, 2009

   Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

   To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.

   Take Back America NOW

3. Back again - despite all the sad reality that medical school has become (and in effect medicine itself) pathetic at best - there are great breakthroughs - that I wish would get the press - most especially over our Dear Leader claiming that Doctors are cutting off feet and taking out tonsils just to make money.

   Here are two that have come out in and mean the possibility of a brighter future for many accident victims:

   Didrick Medical Inc. is proud to introduce the X-Finger
   The X-Finger® is the world’s first active-function artificial finger assembly designed specifically for partial finger amputees. The device allows users to regain complete control of the flexion and extension movements of an artificial finger in a self-contained device.  It is designed to bend a silicone finger sheath in a realistic manner.

   didrickmedical.com

   and

   Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation is a diversified medical technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets medical devices for use in a variety of applications. The primary applications for our products are neuro-trauma and neurosurgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery and general surgery. However, our surgical instrument product lines are used in virtually all surgical disciplines, including general, plastic and reconstructive, neuro, ear, nose and throat, cardiovascular, ob-gyn, and ophthalmic surgical procedures.

   The Company’s product lines include traditional medical devices, such as monitoring and drainage systems, surgical instruments and fixation systems, as well as innovative tissue repair products, such as the DuraGen® Dural Graft Matrix, the DuraGen Plus® Dural Graft Matrix, the NeuraGen® Nerve Guide, the INTEGRA® Dermal Regeneration Template, and the INTEGRA™ Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing, which incorporate the Company’s proprietary absorbable implant technology.

   Now (2010) there are more than 10 brands of artificial skins (Dermal Regeneration) - in 2001 when my son was burned - there were 2 Bio Derm and Integra.

   It is a shame that our media is so in the tank for _________(fill in the blank - Marxist, socialist, communist, fascist whatever) DNC and keeps the reality of a creative, compassionate and incredible America buried under the faux ‘victims’ of the special interest groups that are dragging America to destruction.

   And you can actually watch some of the nifty stuff going on with prosthetic on FIT TV on Fridays nights (Rebuit: The Human Body Shop) at 10PM.

4. Don’t worry, be Happy! ObamaCare fixes all. Death panels tell you to die. You come back as a zombie Obama voter. You get to eat Republican brains in the bargain. What’s not to like?

   Life-after-death as a Democrat voter. Literally hell on earth.

5. I invested in aa leech grower in 2008 anticipating this all. Ah, the life living on a yacht cruising the Greek Isles with Amanda, Alyson, Trudy, Jennifer 1, Jennifer 2, Jennifer 3, (some parents got the Jennifer naming memo!), and Tracyie (don’t ask....). Too too rough.
