Without exhausting existing avenues for complains against Physicians/Surgeons, posting directly on the Internet should be discouraged.
Not, it is not a issue of free speech, but if the Physicians will have to constantly watch their back against disgrunted people posting online, their quality of service might suffer.
I know this as a Physician myself.
As an alternative one can always report to the licensing boards and ask for review by a panel of experts and specialists instead of setting up a novice 'peoples' court and run a witch hunt.
Most Importantly, if a patient visits a doctor, they enter automatically into a non-disclosure agreement although no legal documents need to be signed.. by virtue of visiting a doctor, a patient agrees to put himself/herself under that doctor's care. The burden is on the patient to find a physician whom he can believe.
If Patients who may be not be satisfied due to a combination of myriad factors start using the Web primarly as a means to get back at the doctors, what is going to stop the Doctors to retaliate likewise by releasing confidential health details about their patients if they are not satisfied with the patients for example?
My end point is that this is a delicate issue and must be handled according to set protocols and procedures. Wild West tactics might only backfire on the general population.
>> And the apparant facts proved by just one flight-ticket! you can go to Tibet as freely as you can go any where in China.
You mean to say that just because I can go to Tibet with an airticket means Tibetians are free under the Chinese rule? And thats proof that Tibetians can elect their own government democratically and exercise their rights that all other civilised nations take for granted?
>>The Great wall, which was built around 2500 years ago and lasts till today, was completely a defense project from the northern momadics.
Exacly.. that great wall was the boundary of once HAN Chinese Nation.. look how far the Han have suceeded in extending their nation beyond! ANd in the process, destroyed every other ethnic community and tribes that existed on those plains.
Now, the greatwall of china is no boundary wall, its well inside the country. Where exactly will the Han Chinese draw their boundary once and for all?
>>But contrary to what you said, there was no war in Tibet, It was a peaceful reclaimation in about 1950.
Peaceful reclaimation eh? Reclaiming a part of the land using soldiers is called peaceful?
The whole issue isn't about LAND. Its about a people.
Even if we say for example, the Chinese have the right over that land called Tibet, what bout the people, does the Han Chinese claim to have overlordship over the Tibetian people too?
>>At least about 300 years ago, Tibet was an administrative region of Ch'in Dynasty
Some time ago, the present US of A was an administrative region of Great Britian.. Mexico of Spain, Canada of France and so on.. what right does that give a former coloniser to invade another land and occupy it citing former possession??
>>Being big is not an original sin. it does not necessarily means invasion and robbery
Being big might not be a sin, but BECOMING big by swallowing up smaller nations/people/tribes is surely a sin which the Han had always committed throughout history.
>> You should first seperate communism from China while throwing stones
Why? can't you defend communist China? Are you ashamed of Red China? Do you want to free China from the Communist Yoke? Welcome to the army of the real free then!
>>Communism is a philisopy stemming from Europe and be introduced to China early last century. The Party that believes in it leads the current government over China.
Are you shifting the guilt?? Does the fact that Communism arose from Europe in any way whitewash the fact that the Maoist communism kills and rules authoritatively in China? So you want Europe to shoulder the guilt of developing communism now eh?
>>The new government started to recover the national orders by sweeping local forces,in cluding Tibet
So you 'recover national order' by sweeping local forces eh? Just somewhere you claimed peaceful reclaimation and now you say 'sweeping local forces'.. how exactly do you 'peacefully sweep' armed forces.. care to explain?? (ref: quoting you: It was a peaceful reclaimation in about 1950/vs/ The new government started to recover the national orders by sweeping local forces,in cluding Tibet)
>> What's most ironic is that MILLIONS of tibetan are enjoying lives peacefully in their land
Tibetians 'enjoying' their life or that there is relative 'peace' in Tibet is NOT THE MATTER.
Freedom is the issue! Can't you understand? The Tibetians need no peace nor enjoyments or material prosperity UNDER The Chinese. They want FREEDOM.. you just can't substitute freedom with prosperity and peace. There are different things.
First Freedom. and then the Tibetians will give themseles the enjoyment and peace they need.
This diatribe of owning keeps sprouting up every time Tibet is mentioned.
Tibet is no 'article' to be owned, Its a nation of people. They cannot be owned. If you keep thinking Tibet to be just a piece of land that can change hands, can be bought/sold/seized, you are particularly wrong. It is about a people, not just their land.
Chinese logic is that China had control over Tibet for a really long time.. about 300 years and this gives them automatic reason to hold Tibet and Tibetians under their rule and occupation till the end of time or untill Tibet as it ever existed ceases to be.
Tibetians are NOT han chinese. They are a different nation. There is no similarity between them. The religion, culture, language, dress, cuisine, every fundamental marker that distinguishes civilizations from each other differ in case of the Tibetians and Chinese.
As every other nation, the Tibetians are entitled to freedom and self-rule. Period.
THe Past Colonisation of China is NOT a valid reason for continued occupation of Tibet by China.
Human rights: the fewer said about it in relation to China, the better.
About Taiwan: It has seceded from the mainland is true, but today, it is a seperate nation per se and the threat to use overwhelming force to bring about a reunion is just revolting. How about a referendum to settle the issue once and for all instead?
Let me prick your typical commie Chinese propaganda bubble please!
>> Tibet has been part of China more than at least 300 years ago in Qing Dynasty
India was part of the British Empire for > 200 years (starting from the time when British East India Company victory at Plassey in 1757 to Indian independence in 1947)
That does NOT give Britian any right to invade India again and capture it..
The Chinese Communist Propaganda machine uniquely and illogically takes advantage of an earlier colonisation of Tibet to justify a more recent and brutal one. It was plain invasion and no amount of whitewashing will do away the stink.
>> China in its long history proved to be a peaceful country. Almost never invaded any neighbours, instead, attracts its neighbors with more advance culture and economy.
16 Nov 1962 China invades India After a short war India loses territory in the northwestern state of Jammu and Kashmir.
China still holds to occupied lands of Indian Territory in Aksai Chin.
China today threatens to invade Taiwan.
What do you want to say, China became such a large country through non-violent and peaceful means? Nay, it was through continous invasions and extermination of other nationalities that today China is predominantly and uniformly of the HAN population.. what happened to other ethnic communities of that region?
China is a bully of the region and will always remain as such.
>> is one among over 30 provinces that accepts most fund from the central government
Yeah, those funds are for Han Chinese to build factories and colonise the Tibetian Land. Do the Tibetians profit from the money flow? Hell no.
>>Today's tibet are not oppressed by any one When ordinary Chinese students were massacred by the Authoritative Govt. in Tiammen Sq.. what about the fate of the colonised people, one can very well guess.
>Almost never invaded any neighbours, instead, attracts its neighbors with more advance culture and economy.
Thats debatable, given the fact that China is flexing its muscles against Taiwan, fought numerous wars with Vietnam with an aim to overtake it, invaded Mongolia innumerable times, also Thailand, invaded India and still holds on to Indian territory in Aksai Chin.. the list goes on..
Actually, there isn't a single Asian neighbour China hasn't gone to war with. It has always been a big bully in the region and will remain as such.
>Tibet has been part of China more than at least 300 years ago in Qing Dynasty
What kind of logic is that?
The British held India for more than 100 years.. does that give Britian a right to invade India and take possession of it again??
>In fact Tibet is one among over 30 provinces that accepts most fund from the central government
Funds for exactly what?
Funds for Han Chinese to build factories and cities on Tibetian lands and colonise them?
Can't exactly see Tibetians benefiting from all those funds you advertise!!
And I thought the Americans are well educated better than the rest..
This is like quoting from various books that US is racist and that the blacks suffer discrimination, have higher proportions of convictions, and aren't there in the corporate America.
On the other hand, be you all in ignorance, while the Elephant and the Dragon rises. Your ignorance of India would only be an asset.
