Our "noble" profession was always more about social climbing than compassion or accurate science. Whenever parents wish their children to become "doctors or lawyers" you see the true roots of our profession. By the way, if you want to see the most incredible example of how a TV doctor can sell out, google "Dr. Ranj official website", and get ready to pee your pants with laughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-5381489894349254822012-07-06T04:31:18.949+01:002012-07-06T04:31:18.949+01:00Nice review! keep posting.Nice review! keep posting.Jakarta Hotelhttp://www.jakarta.intercontinental.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-23132226395774142822012-04-16T20:07:25.241+01:002012-04-16T20:07:25.241+01:00Illegal ciggies and spirits cost Britain more than...Illegal ciggies and spirits cost Britain more than 28 billions <br />Black market cigarettes, fuel and booze cost Britain about £28.5 billion in lost tax between 2005 and 2010.

And they are “big numbers” – the implication being that they are too big.<br /><br />“Obesity costs $58.2 billion,” he exclaims, “that’s around twice the cost of age pensions!”<br /><br /><br /><br />The sheer size of the numbers, argues the Sydney actuary, perverts government policy. It can lead to poor spending decisions. The credibility of the numbers from the health lobby is therefore critical to government policy.<br /><br />The press and the public have been led to believe that the costs to the system are higher than they really are so the government can “justify use of taxpayers’ money on measures to reduce its prevalence and prevention”.<br /><br />Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/business/slim-truth-in-fat-figures-20111123-1ntr5.html#ixzz1eWya8CpQ<br /><br />harleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-59746449024446963432012-04-16T18:59:40.696+01:002012-04-16T18:59:40.696+01:00I think we can bring this Nazis complex back to re...I think we can bring this Nazis complex back to reality...<br /><br />We must demonise the Nanny State for the sake of our childrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-60393107174145548022012-04-16T14:07:15.913+01:002012-04-16T14:07:15.913+01:00It made our morning news in Canada this morning.

Those who test positive should be fired and sent to an inhospitable island where they can mostly be restricted to annoying each other. Australia might be suitable as the population there seem to appreciate being told what to do by morons so a few extra might not hurt. <br /><br />Such a policy would effectively clear out the Royal Colleges and have the added benefit of saving a fortune.Ivan Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364023294207490403noreply@blogger.com
