Your mom could have taken a copy of the real film (if done in X-ray) like patients around the world who carry their own records to the doctors (I did that when I was not in this country.) If the image is in MRI or other new computerized scans, the output is digitized, it has nothing to do with the Electronic Medical Record we talked about here. EMR is about sharing of medical records, don't confuse it with a CD -- or a wagon of tapes -- with digital data. In your case, EMR is obviously not used.
In this country, it is the legal liability that prevents medical record sharing -- in paper or electronic -- and repeats testing. Doctors will not let you automatically take all records or share all records with other doctors in fear of being accused of errors. Similarly, the best assurance of accurate diagnostics is up-to-date testing. (I used to switch several doctors for the same condition, and all of them repeated the same test even if I presented the previous test results.)
The American "democracy" is in a pretty bad shape, controlled by a duo-poly, money, and the Big Businesses. Have the
Americans stand up and do anything effective. We have seen only lip-services so far, just like what Chinese people see in China.
You can't never hope a large group of people to make major, fundamental, systematic social changes! Rather, it usually depends on a few -- often one -- extremely skillful leader(s) -- politician(s) -- to wave a flag of some sort of Ideal and attract larger and larger group of people around him until they attain the power to overthrown the existing system. And then these politicians and their allies would turn their back to you and created another social system that is not much better.
One thing that the Chinese people get fed up is the political ideals. They have seen plenty of such promises by leaders of different times and they are mostly unrealistic. They no longer believe in any political ideals -- including the so-call democracy as it just inevitably turns into corruption of different well-packaged form of marketing.
"Hand-picked" in the sense of hand-picked by the Chinese government, before anyone gets near the security check point. The students were gathered together for "training" a few days ahead. And this is open news as seen in the Chinese internet news portals a few day back. The open or hidden messages to them would be cleared -- ``dare to speak about any sensitive topic, you would be out of school tomorrow.'' From the transcript I read, no student in the meeting raised any sensitive questions. Those questions were allegedly from the Internet user and were delivered to Obama by the U.S. council.
I didn't say paying enough money is the only thing needed but it is one of the required measures, along with harsh punishment. For example, the cleanest governments in the world are Singapore and Hong Kong. A civil servant there get a free condo, which easily costs you one to two million USD if you buy in the market, along with generous retirement benefits. Basically if you already make more than most people by staying clean, why would you cheat?
The only effective way I to pay them enough. Do you know why CEOs of large companies rarely steal from their company directly? They may be incompetent and run the company into the ground, but they don't steal directly because they already get paid millions. The same thing is with politicians, if they don't get enough money from their official wages, most of them will cheat. After all, politician is foremost a job just like programmers or fast food restaurant workers. Serving people is only for advertisement. That's the real world.
What could be worse? They seem deliberately design the interface to trap users into triggering this extra usages. I have a Samsung SGH-T509 from T-mobile. Once you take a picture with this phone, it will display "Send to : My Album" with the right (yah, most people are right-handed too) button conveniently displaying "Yes". Every person that ever used my phone, including myself, would almost automatically click Yes; saving to the album sounds like the right thing to do after taking a picture. It turns out My Album is an online service, saving to there initiates a data transmission which is costly if you don't have a data plan. If you want to save locally, you need to click the left button (now labeled "Options",) scroll down to select and click"Send to", scroll down to and click "My photos". I figured this trick out after the first time I hit the Yes button, but still making mistakes from time to time. My wife never seems to remember this trick until it is too late.
You bet the marketing people figured out most people wouldn't want a data plan and need to trick you into sending data. trick or treat.
Your former employer was probably right. While I was in China, the software engineer there wouldn't work OT w/o double pay, not even if we allow them take time off on some other days. It all comes down to market force at the end. Engineers are scarcer, unlike the millions of blue collar assembly line workers. In China, if you follow the laws closely, you have no business and so practically everyone cheats if they can. Also the labor law has been tighten in the beginning of 2008 trying to slam some loopholes to protect the blue collar workers. Though, from our perspectives, the law is stupid -- we don't ask people to work OT everyday, but once awhile before the deadline, we in the US will just crank up and work a bit of OT voluntarily.
No, Chinese companies (and governments) make green energy products because there's where the money is now. In fact, the central government is trying to overcapacity in solar/wind energy sectors. The US is still a leader, not only in technology, but in exploring new business opportunities. China acts very fast, but they are always in catch-up mode in the sense.
Probably. But the drug companies cannot monopolize all researchers. Maybe they can buy this group, but once the idea sneaks out, other research groups will try, for their own money and ego. And so the drug companies have to buy them as well. Eventually, just starting on this research will be a get-rich-quick schemes for all the research labs of every college and hospitals around the world. Can the drug companies afford to drag into making these infinite payments? If so, that may be a good thing.
Yaris is smaller, that's why it is more efficient. I bypassed it because I found it is too cramped inside, more so than even the Mini and Fonda Fit, both get only 30+mpg.
Not only that, Asian families pay a lot (too much?) attention to the success of their children in school and in their lives. Asian parents not only expect their children to just pass, they want them to be the top of the class and get into the top universities in the hottest fields CS/EE, business, medical, law. Just pass is a failure to them.
If you go some schools/districts in San Francisco, silicon valley (like Lowell High School in SF, Mission San Jose, Cupertino,) same public school system but the students do very well in those schools, because they are mostly Chinese and Indian, like > 80% combined.) And the housing prices there stick high despite of the market crash in the rest of country.
What actually counts as a 'Cyber-Security Emergency?' Does the president now have the option of disconnecting people when they disagree with his policies? Disconnect bloggers that criticize his health-reform? What counts as an emergency, can political opponents be deemed a cyber security emergency?
Politicians in this country are all PR/marketing super-talents. Do you think they will or need to do something this unpolished?
Comparing to many other medical costs in this country, this is actually pretty affordable. Next step, make it an official psychologic disease and make it coverable by insurance.
Pragmatically speaking, China is now like a pressure cooker -- the pressure is the internal social economic problems accumulated over the years. The government fears, and many common people believe so -- that suddenly release (i.e. stop selective suppression of opposing voices and allow dramatically more freedom) would simply cause the whole thing to explode. It's anyone's guess whether such outcome would materialize. It may very well happen that way, see the fake of the ex-Soviet Union -- faltered but not better.
So their plan seems to slow venting away the pressures -- executing some unlucky officials caught corrupting, reforming the labor laws slowly, trying the idea of universal health care, and most importantly raising the pay of government workers. After all, if you don't pay government employees better than the rest, they will corrupt. This has in fact little to do with political system -- it is just human nature. it is why our CEOs don't steal from their own companies (they may do so from you and me and may run down the companies, but rarely steal directly) because they get millions from their official salary/bonus.
in the US, we have too big to fail. I guess it is too bad to fail in China and other 3rd world countries. Maybe I'm the first one to coin this phrase.
Neither is true. I grew up in China and still know many over there, but ALL OF THEM are not happy with many things, especially the government officials. Neither they believe 90% of government propaganda -- especially such propaganda are usually not-well-package and too obvious. And all of them make lots of complaints. You can also find that there are public more complaints about their governments in any Chinese Internet news forums -- more than you will find in a typical US news forums.
However, I don't find many people there too interested in dramatic changes to their country either, simply because they have lost all hopes of all political systems -- including the so called ``democracies'' and they fear of social unrests like that during the era of Mao. They do hold out for slow social reforms which do happen to be underway in China.
