Just a question.

Saturday again, and that means dusting off our English.

Reading the foreign press regarding health as I do to prepare these posts, I found this question:

Why Are Some Physicians So Bad At Communicating With Their Patients?

Primary care physicians in particular are under tremendous pressure to produce.   Just imagine…physicians in small primary care practices spend about 3.5 hours/week just on dealing with insurance-related paperwork.  Then there’s keeping up with recommended treatment guidelines, journals, and IT issues and routine staffing issues…not to mention routine patient care, much of which they in fact do not get paid for.  Physicians do have it rough right now.

And I thought that this problem occurred only in Spain ... and it's going to be a universal problem. The solution is so difficult that no one, neither here nor there, can find the remedy for the situation.

Perhaps new technologies, if our managers let us use in our primary care center and hospitals, may be part of the solution, and initiatives to use audio-visual messages focused on our patients may be the beginning of change. Why not?

Wednesday [26/01/2010]: The flight of the queen.
The flight of the queen is an irresistible novel about the strength that comes from the dark side of desire. Among Camargo, the powerful head of the leading newspaper in Buenos Aires, and Reina Remis, a young journalist to half her age, comes a passion that leads to a dangerous game of obsessions. The erotic intrigue and suspense populate this story of domination, corruption and instruments of power, to draw a final unpredictable ultimate consequence of the ambition and the present and the past of the protagonist.

Thursday [27/01/2010]: Go for nothing, is nonsense.
What is clear is that if an old Spanish go to the doctor ten times while a Swedish only going two is that either because he was not served properly or whether because there was no reason for the visit by the patient ... we can only say that if there is going to go, but go for nothing is nonsense.
