is modern medicine killing you?

probably.
even if you aren't taking something the odds are still that somehow you are in contact with some preparation that is having an influence on your metablism.
when youu are in direct contact with medicine on a regular basis then the stuff is working away at you even if it is not effecting a cure.
dig?
it never stops.
the other problem is the medical profession.
medicine is a business.
so even giving doctors the benefit of the doubt they are still tied to you by the cash nexus, the desire to help someone and the overweening belief in their healing touch.
all combine into a co-dependent situation where doctors are not really willing to tell you the truth.
e.g. many topical medicines dont work 100% as in fact do many other procedures not work.
so they are committing sins of omission.
the other problem is their social status.
they think their word is god and nobody else knows anything.
they dont really want to be doctors they want to be part of the jet set.
thats why there are so many locums in New Zealand.
first you see em then you dont.
hey they are omnipotent.

also many have never felt any personal pain nor straightened circumstances.
hot house flowers always wilt fastest.

midnight jobs and nightmoves....

grey day today.
went up to town.
light drizzle and the river was down.
on the way back the clouds were threatening and the river had colour and was rising.
found a VHS of 'Rollerball'.
I'm not sure which came first.  Rolerball or the Running Man with Arnie but both are 5* jobs.
Great movie with James Caan in the lead where the world is run by executives.
something like the takeover by the engineers in Thorstein Veblens Theory Of Business Enterprise.
Malevolent and all powerful.
You cant beat em.
Just like now?
hehehehe.
With the requisite fixers and kiss asses.
hmmmm.
anyway when I woke up this morning someone had done the midnight job and moved the park benches back off the footpath.
wonder who.
See around here if you tell someone something to their face they just tell you to fuck off but if you catch them in the headlights and show and tell then they slink around and try and pretend it never happened.
?????????
See if they have the JOB then they know everything and what they dont know doesn't matter.
yeah right.
More secret squirell stuff but large story in the 2minsilence about 'Sustainable Wairarapa' lobby group.
no names though.
They must be scared of a shitstorm if they tell the truth too.
However they make the points that,
1, wairarapa rates will have to go up $450 per rating unit on average,
2, wairarapa is already one of the highest rated districts in New Zealand
3, that the area is rapidly filling up with old aged pensioners on fixed incomes and low skilled workers.
I guess that s why the CDC have wasted a colossal amount of dough on unnecessary buildings and cosmetic bullshit.
Now all the insecure locals can go round saying, "we're not hicks now".

well only  ahick thinks that building a monstrosity  and fixing something that aint broke is goo d business.
I dont feel proud at all.
I just feel completely bewildered about how supposedly intelligent people let themselves be deluded that by trying to make the town look like like something out of a new bathroom catalogue has done anything for the town at all.
The rest of the Wairarapa thinks it is a big joke and those who stopped to use the pissoir in holloway road are really pissed off.
You know the whole country is on the wonk.
Anyone familiar with Philosophy 101 will know the argument attributed to David HUme that what we call cause and effect is merely a psychological case of constant conjunction.
What has happened now is that peiople in New Zealand cannot tell the difference between real life and being on tevee.
Its all the same to the hicks. Especially the ones that have been to makk peekoo and thinkthat they have really done something.
nah.
just been for a few plane rides and stayed in some expensive hotels.
In the meantime the madness goes on.....

Indians with attitude part 3

I am still pissed off with the physician (sic) who  told me that all my medicine was shit.
who thought it was okay to browbeat someone in shock and exhibited no empathy whatsoever.
he was supposed to have a duty of care and that does not extend to verbal assault on someone who is in extremis.
this one is like the pantywaist cop on the mentalist right now.
 a mewling mummies boy.
hey life imitating art.
doctors are always right ex post facto and that means they are usually always right but if they are only in it for the money and the status and because they think they might look good on shortland street or greys anatomy then they would be better off being being dentists or car mechanics.

See the medical profession in New Zealand is totally entwined with the class structure.
doctors become doctors to rise in the status pecking order.
So when they get their duty confused with their snobbery and social aspirations then they are just useless bastards.

he tried to cover his bets by asking me what I did after his rudeness just in case I could fire one back at him.
well here it is and it must  have made the rounds because the next time I went to the hospital for an x-ray the inidan radiographer made me sit in the cold with no clothes on and if I was suspicious then I think she left the gizmo going as well.
so not only are these people jumped up they are childish and revengeful as well.
dig?

Socrates and New Zealand

Socrates would not have lasted five minutes in NZ.
Everybody here thinks that because they know something they know everything.
Especially the young who have done a three month course somewhere and think they are fully fledged academics.
Just because you google soemthing or check it out on the wiki does not mean that you know what you are talking about.
At the moment the country is suffering from severe delusions of grandeur.
the country that lost its head.
This government of manques and parvenus have handed out all this money to councils who have basically wasted it on fixing things that aren't broken and dont need fixing.
like carterton man is gonna be the next courtenay place.
yeah right.
and BTW.
fuck the pommy rugby union.
if they have to poison our team so they can win then they are just another gang of juvenile cheapskates.
send them all to makoo peekoo and hopefully a mayan will stuff his blowpipe up their arse .
BTW 2.
The portable park benches next door get dragged onto the footpath to mow the lawn but they are never put back.
How are the old folks with their zimmerframes and disablitlities supposed to deal with these obstacles is beyond me.
maybe these people know something I dont?
like how to waste the budget (again) but not know what to do once they have done it.

the benefits of drug use

good story on the benefits of drug use in the dompost this morning.
the fact of the matter is this that dthe prohibition against cannabis is a an illegitimate law.
it is illegitimate because it favours one group against another.
the liquor industry versus the poerson who wants to grow some cannabis in their back yard.

Indians with Attitude part 2

There be better criteria of selection from UNiversity medical schools to weed out the apparently obsuquious who are going to turn into petty  tyrants after graduation.

Also it should be made imperative that all Indian graduates from New Zealand medical schools should spend at least two years in a Mumbai slum to learn a little bit of humility.
