Stay well my friend!

The patient also has a responsibility

Don't you agree, that also the patient must become more interactive with the doctor. We all should work as a team to reduce potential errors occurring?. We as patients are often too passive in the process.

If you will it... it is no dream

Passive in what though?  I believe that doctors really should explain more to the patients, so that our bodies don't seem like a complete mystery to us, so that we don't have to turn to yedda or webmed sites in order to ask people and find out about diseases we have, or things we might have.  I think that people are generally too ignorant about their own body.  At the same time though, people don't trust their doctors.  Some doctors really deserve to be trusted, while others REALLY don't.  So, it's all a difficult question.

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

I agree. Given the fact that I have Type 1 diabetes for close to 30 years, I am very much aware of the possibilities of what I face if I do not take care of myself on a day to day basis. Because of this I try to keep up to date as much as possible by using as many sources as possible, and questioning my doctors when I see them. I do know that I have my limits as a patient, and I will never have the knowledge of my doctors, but if I think my doctor is wrong or I disagree with him/her, I will challenge them. Passive, not me.

Baby Moshe Holzberg Cries Amma Amma:...

Little Moshe Holzberg is in this state because of only one reason - islamic hatred of Jews and Hindus. Hindus(India) and Jews(Israel) have an informal alliance being long term victims of islamic terror. This alliance was (and still is) not structured thanks to muslim influenced Congress party in India. During the kargil war, Israel helped India and India's last Satellite launch vehicle launched Israel's spy satellites. Islamists had very clearly defined that Hindus, Jews and Americans are their enemies. They especially hate Jews and Hindus. Also Daniel Pipes and many Jewish analysts for example seem to delink west asia from south asia, little realising the historical links and proximity. Hindus and Jews were criminally negligent in not stopping pakistan from building the nuclear bomb with chinese help. It is this nuclear cover which provides islamic pakistan and its generals confidence to carry out more and more terror. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7b_B-89hDg islamists of course hv never hestitated to share their skillsets across the geographies and look at both Hindus and Jews as enemies. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1042203.html Hindus, Jews and Americans need to firm up an alliance and put a permanent full stop on this islamic evil. ------------- Mumbai Doctors shocked at hostages's torture - Jewish American Rabbies and American Intelligence Operatives were specifically targeted for torture. They said that just one look at the bodies of the dead hostages as well as terrorists showed it was a battle of attrition that was fought over three days at the Oberoi and the Taj hotels in Mumbai. Doctors working in a hospital where all the bodies, including that of the terrorists, were taken said they had not seen anything like this in their lives. "Bombay has a long history of terror. I have seen bodies of riot victims, gang war and previous terror attacks like bomb blasts. But this was entirely different. It was shocking and disturbing," a doctor said. Asked what was different about the victims of the incident, another doctor said: "It was very strange. I have seen so many dead bodies in my life, and was yet traumatised. A bomb blast victim's body might have been torn apart and could be a very disturbing sight. But the bodies of the victims in this attack bore such signs about the kind of violence of urban warfare that I am still unable to put my thoughts to words," he said. Asked specifically if he was talking of torture marks, he said: "It was apparent that most of the dead were tortured. What shocked me were the telltale signs showing clearly how the hostages were executed in cold blood," one doctor said. The other doctor, who had also conducted the post-mortem of the victims, said: "Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks. It was clear that they were killed on the 26th itself. It was obvious that they were tied up and tortured before they were killed. It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again," he said. Corroborating the doctors' claims about torture was the information that the Intelligence Bureau had about the terror plan. "During his interrogation, Ajmal Kamal said they were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis," an IB source said. It is also said that the Israeli hostages were killed on the first day as keeping them hostage for too long would have focused too much international attention. "They also might have feared the chances of Israeli security agencies taking over the operations at the Nariman House," he reasoned. Islamic enemies (International Islamic Front, the hydra headed monster and which includes Al Quaeda, lashkar-e-toiba) have defined clearly their enemies as USA, India and Israel. Still it is a shame that democracies are discreet about fighting evil islam. Richard Benkin, Samuel Huntington every right thinking analyst that has his feet firmly placed in the reality ground, have called for structured open alliance to defeat the islamic transnational axis. Wooly eyed criminals in US, India and Israel have prevented the emergence of this alliance, which is essential to tame evil islam.

Angry Pakistanis Stage Protest

More than two thousand Islamists, mainly students, took to the streets of Pakistan's capital Islamabad on Wednesday (December 3) to protest against Indian accusations over the attacks on Mumbai last week, Indian investigators have said the Mumbai attackers had months of commando training in Pakistan by the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, blamed for a 2001 attack on India's parliament. Pakistan has condemned the Mumbai assault, denies any involvement by state agencies and has offered to work with India in its investigations into the attacks. Pakistan rejects what it calls "unsubstantiated allegations" of complicity. Chanting "We are alive, by the grace of Allah," the protesters marched towards the Parliament House but were stopped by security personnel behind barbed wire barriers. "In the wake of the self-inflicted terrorism in Mumbai, India wants to become another America, and plans to attack Pakistan," Raees Gul, a leader of Jamaat-e-Islami's students wing told the crowd, which prayed for Pakistan and burned flags of India, the US and Israel. India has said most, if not all, the 10 militants who rampaged through its financial capital killing 171 people were from Pakistan, including the one survivor. India has long said Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act against anti-India militant groups there. The latest attacks risk unravelling improved ties between the adversaries, who have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947.
