Rationalizing helps everyone. Neither doctors nor patients are exception to this rule. The reason why Medicare’s crackdown does not hurt patients is due to the fact that even after the crackdown, doctors will still not leave their patients in the dark.

By making the doctors accept Medicare patients at a lower fee, the standards of healthcare pricing may be brought down, or at least prevented to some extent from rising any further. Such control of healthcare pricing will actually help a lot of patients, even those who don’t depend on Medicare.

Economics of Medicare Crackdown on Doctors’ Profits

Economists call it ‘marginal cost’ and ‘marginal revenue.’ These concepts are necessary for understanding how Medicare’s actions will affect us.

The marginal cost, for the doctor, is the cost of providing services to one more patient. Since most of the overheads are fixed, like cost of building (investments or rent), equipment, assisting staff, utilities and professional costs like those incurred on medical education and licensing etc, so these costs will have to be incurred by the physician even if she treats one patient less. These are sunk costs. So, the real ‘marginal’ cost of seeing one more patient is just the cost of the doctor’s time. Now if there is some other patient (not covered by Medicare) ready to pay a higher fee to the doctor, then the Medicare patient may have to wait. The reason is that the ‘opportunity cost’ of doctor’s time has increased – by treating the Medicare patient, he stands to lose the higher fees offered by the other patient. But once there is no other patient, the opportunity costs are not very high, so he chooses to see the Medicare patient, even for a lower fee.

The net effect is that the Medicare patient may have to wait, but she will get the treatment, at a lesser cost, without hurting either the doctor (who is still making a profit) or anybody else. As you see, it definitely helps the patient.

Medicare Payments as Industry Benchmark

Another reason why this is helpful for the patients in the long run is because it creates a benchmark price that acts as a signal for the medical community, and creates an incentive for them to cut costs and become economically efficient. In some quarters, there has been a myth that the basic concepts of economics are not exactly applicable on the doctors and hospitals. But that is just a myth. In reality, the principles are just as applicable.

When forced to cut costs, the doctors will end up using their resources in a more efficient way, including time, and every one will benefit from their efficiency, most of all, the patients.

The Imperfect Market of Healthcare Cannot be Left on Market Forces

Lastly, one needs to remind oneself about the fact that the market of medical care is full of several imperfections, which prevent it from having the usual free market dynamics and market efficiency derived from demand – supply matching.

The medical and health care market suffers from information gaps between buyer (patient) and supplier (doctor). It is supplier (doctor) driven. Lastly, the medical care is a ‘merit good’ that we want every human being to have. In short, medical care market is very different from any other market. The inherent distortions in this market justify the intervention that comes in the form of Medicare’s crackdown on doctors’ profit.

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The programme depicts the  adventures of a mysterious, humanoid alien known as the Doctor who travels through time and space in his spacecraft, the TARDIS (an acronym for  Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), which normally appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s British police box. With his companions, he  explores time and space, faces a variety of foes and rights wrongs.

The programme is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world, and as the “most successful”  science fiction series of all time, in terms of its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, iTunes traffic and “illegal downloads.” It has been  recognised for its imaginative stories, creative low-budget special effects during its original run, and pioneering use of electronic music (originally  produced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop).

The show is a significant part of British popular culture; in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, it has  become a cult television favourite and has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series. It has  received recognition from critics and the public as one of the finest British television programmes, including the BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series in  2006, and five consecutive wins at the National Television Awards since 2005, in the Drama category.

The Doctor has been played by eleven actors. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the show as regeneration, whereby the  character of the Doctor takes on a new body and, to some extent, new personality. Although each portrayal is different, and on occasion the various  incarnations have even encountered one another, they are all meant to be aspects of the same character.

The Doctor is currently portrayed by Matt Smith, who took up the role after David Tennant’s final appearance in an episode broadcast on 1 January  2010. A fifth series of the relaunched programme began on 3 April 2010,in which the Eleventh Doctor is accompanied by Amy Pond, portrayed by  Karen Gillan.

With an out-of-this-world set, Doctor Who Live will feature special FX, optical illusions and spectacular pyrotechnics building to an epic finale.  Specially edited video clips, drawn from the TV Programme will be shown on a massive screen and accompanied by the music of longtime Doctor Who  composer Murray Gold.

Removal of Trust Doctor

     Open the phone book and one will likely find fifty pages of physician ads for their practice. Visit your family doctor with an unusal complaint, and a referral may be given you to visit a specialist. Find yourself or a loved one in the hospital, and many different types of physicans may be encountered.

     For someone with an eye toward being prepared, here is a list of doctor specialties that one day made be of use. Aside from primary care doctors, also known as generalists, doctors study a program medicine in a particular area to become an expert in a paticular body system and the medical care related to it.

 Gastroenterology: Care of the stomach and bowels. Helps a person experiencing nausea, abdominal pain, or problems with swallowing. These doctors perform endoscopies such as ERCP or colonoscopies.                                
Pain Management: People who have nerve injuries, bad backs, or fibromyalgia might seek out a phsycian in this area. Aside from prescribing pain medications, interventions such as injections of numbing drugs or steroids may be used. The goal of care here is to allow patients with ongoing pain to be able to cope as best as possible .
Hospice: Some doctors provide aid and care to patients who are at the end of their life. They manage pain and work with nurses to provide dignity to a person’s last days. These physicians make house calls or are directors of hospice houses.
Urology: A urologist is the person to see if you experience painful kidney stones, experience bladder problems or have an enlarged prostate. These specialists are concerened with the ability of the body to store and get rid of urine made by the kidneys. These doctors also have a surgery background and may perform bladder slings or remove prostates.

 Pulmonologist: Provides care to the lungs and airways of the body. Smoke, or have asthma? You’ll be meeting someone in this field. Aside from breathing treatment scripts, these doctors may take a look inside the lung fields in a procedure called a bronchoscopy.
Hepatology: A hepatologist deals with those suffering from some sort of liver ailment: Hepatitis, or alcoholic cirhosis for example. The physicians track the enzymes produced by the liver and assess for effecs of liver disease on the body.
Infectious Disease: This physician specialist is becoming more common. People with wounds requiring long term antibiotics for severe infection are treated.Often, a relationship begins in the hospital setting and continues after for treatment. These doctors are  interested in the microbiology of the body and grow cultures from specimens taken to determine what they are dealing with.
Pathologist: Pathology doctors don’t see patients, per se, rather, they see pieces. Pathologists examine tissues removed to identify  disease changes, or whether a particular sample is cancerous.  Most of these calls are made by examinations under a microscope’s lens.
Hospitalist/ Intensivist: These doctors work within a hospital only. They admit and provide care to patients who do not have a family physician or their doctor is not on that facility’s staff.  They do all of the management of care by enlisting the assistance of some of the physicians on this list.
Surgeons: Surgeons are the doctors who work in the operating room. Their take on medicine is the infliction of injury- surgery- to help the body heal. Whether cutting out a tumor, placing a pacemaker to help the heart along, or replacing a joint, surgeons  cut to the heart of the matter:

    The different doctors listed are just a few of the many specialties of medicine. They work as a team to provide answers and treatments to a patient and provide advice to an admitting physician with the goal of getting a patient out of the hospital. This is a major reason why one sees so many when laid up in a hospital. Unfortunately, it accounts for the bills as well.

Doctors can make mistakes too. They can give you the wrong diagnoses and you will suffer as a result of their mistakes. There are many times when patients were wrongly diagnosed. The doctors said that they have cancer but the patients didn’t have cancer. There was one doctor in my community who said that a patient had cancer and she open up the patient and then close it for a large sum of money. She knew that the patient didn’t have cancer. It was unethical and she was caught but that’s only because the patient caught on to her plan.

If the patient believes in her, she wouldn’t be in trouble at all. I guess they took her license away or revoke it but I think that she was unethical. There are many unethical doctors out there and you shouldn’t trust them. I personally had several doctors’ friends and I know that you can’t trust them. They are a doctor by day and a drunken alcoholic by night. They might come in to work drunk sometimes. At least that was the case with one of my doctor friend. They are promiscuous and they don’t really care that much anyway. They were little psychotics at time too. One of my doctor friends was abusive and insulting. They can be abusive and insulting. They are just like any other person except that they make more money.

Nowadays I look at doctors as the money maker and not the caring or truthful doctors that they should be. I knew a lot of doctors who were acting like little kids. They call you names and blackmail you. They come into the office the next day all drunk or at least half drunk. It’s a big possibility that they can be another crook. Doctors can be crooks at the same time. You should watch out for your treatment and double check on them all the time. It’s the best thing to do. We have seen doctors who are addicted to drugs. We have seen doctors who practice without a license. There are all sort of problems with doctors too so you shouldn’t put all of your faith in them.

The Hungry Earth!

Well I’m hungry for more!  Oh, sorry that was a bit clichéd wasn’t it?

Doctor Who, ‘The Hungry Earth’, series 5 x 09

This episode, written by Chris Chibnall welcomes back the bi-gone, classic Who era with pomp circumstance and mystery.  Our story begins, as stories often do, in fairy tale, a notable repeated theme of this series.  Eliot, a young boy living a life of rural seclusion but with a loving family and inquisitive spirit is entraced by the terrible tales of the ever popular Graffalo series as his father, Mo reads it’s encrypted language to a dyslexic apprentice of Sherlockian intellect. “Who is the creature with terrible claws?  Terrible teeth in his terrible jaws?”

We are immediately drawn into this close familial circle and watch with trepidation as their daily lives take a tour of the fantastic. 

With strange prehistoric minerals staining graveyard grasses blue a team of drilling devotees plunge further into the earth’s crust than man has ever ventured before.  They hit an impressive 21km before the earth starts hitting back.

It’s late at night, everyone’s asleep except Mo, manning the drilling station and seriously who would wish to wile away their nocturnal hours in such a vacuous and morphic place?  Bet they don’t have many job applicants for the ‘graveyard’ shift.  Oh, and how apt is that coin of phrase for in the cemetery, buried bodies are disappearing from untampered plots and ‘CID’ Rory Williams is called in to investigate.

Meanwhile Mo is missing, and Amy soon suffers the same fate as the Doctor struggles to pull her from some subterrian suction.  Ah, but alas the endearing of a companion is far to vital a plot device for Amy to remain unscathed and on terra firma. Amy’s gone, Rory’s furious, the Doctor’s frantic and something is transporting itself to the surface so there’s no time to lose as the small family and new friends seek to defend themselves inside the eerie old church.  To top it all off, it’s suddenly gone dark, a crimson lightening, force field trapping our heros like a big, glass stopper on a test-tube.

More hostages are taken and we meet the Silurians, a homo repitilian race who evolved from lizard like ancestors who inhabitated the earth long before the birth of mankind.  Our predescors and now, having been disturbed and threatened by the drilling, our competitors for rightful claim on our planet.

This episode runs like an existenalist essay but with fun, interactive visual aids.  So many subtle references are repeated.  The presence and innocence of children.  The realisation of fairy tales, using typical story book terms like monsters and villains and the mysterious stranger who steps in for justice and freedom. 

The idea of sleep, dreams or should I say nightmares as for generations humanity has sought answers to their exsistence and we have a plethora of artistic works questioning what answers lie in the depths of the sea, or in the ground beneath our feet.  Things literally going bump in the night and the phobia of being buried alive, all these intrinsic fears are solidified by this script.

We also have mankinds ingenuity and curiousity as the Tenth Doctor termed it, “The urge to jump, or rather the urge to fall” as we see ordinary people doing extraordinary things, digging into the depths of soil because they can, because they want to know more, to discover, to explore.  Even our first ‘victim’ Mo has this inate compulsion to reach out and touch the steaming hole in the floor; to feel it and make it tangible and real.

a moral and ethical question is also posed that we can’t help but relate to as this narrative takes place only 10 years in the future.  Do we deserve this earth?  What is humanity?  When we are threatened or hurt do we seek vengeance or understanding.  A superior race, more evolved than our own shifts us out of our complacency and four unsuspecting beings become the embassadors for the entire species.  Are we worthy?  Are we more constructive than self-destructive? 

I loved the volume of layers in this episode.  Of course it contained some fantastic one liners as well as geeky gimmicks like the Doctors night vision, sun glasses, there’s an oxymoron for you and great CGI in the climatic scene where a whole civialisation thrives underground for our viewing pleasure.

The characters are varied and distinctive as is their motivations and the actors playing them really add to the flow and intimate feel of the production, particularly the excitement and exuberance of Meera Syal  The design of the ‘aliens’ and their experimental layer is very reminiscent of the situations in the classic Who series’s and I feel, this new series is more science fiction, more over the top and fantastical in its realities however this style does work though it stands in contrast to Russel T. Davies more TV drama and human approach.

Now, just to play devil’s advocate, as always, some queries and minor nit-picking!

Sometimes the dialogue is too spoon feed and undermines the intelligence of the audience for example the pregnant pauses and grandiose hyperbole when referencing, again, that the Doctor is the last of his race.  Perhaps this is to place catch up for new viewers or to repeat the point for the young or even, its consistent repetition could have a deeper meaning as the series unfolds that we are not yet aware of.

Too many two parters?  I have always loved stand alone episodes as they have to be rich in quality and fast paced and engaging in story telling.  Two parters slow down the series and lower it’s content for me.  However when we remember that Doctor Who used to be screened in small bite sized bits with four or sometimes more parts to one story I suppose this is more traditional.  But with only 13 episodes in a series I can’t help but feel cheated when we only get half as many stories and strange new worlds to explore..

The Doctor’s lack of awareness for the individual is starting to become a problem as he forgets about Eliot, a small child out on his own in a potentially fatal situation.  His own fatherly instinct, which has been often draw upon in the past was absent.  He certainly cares about the human race as a whole, in terms of their continued existence but he doesn’t seem to focus so much on the individual in dialogue or plot any more.

The loyal companion!  Once upon a time, to be a Who girl you had to be able to scream and that alone was the main prerequisite.  Are we stepping backwards into that concept once more?  Amy is continuously getting into trouble and almost dying and though she blusters like the best of them, she doesn’t react with that X-factor that distinguishes a companion from the common crowd.  For example, “What is the point of you?” ~ Amy’s Choice.  Don’t get me wrong, I like her a lot and maybe Stephen Moffat is simply trying to get away from the god complex that Doctor Who has been critised for having in the past but she has failed many tests and committed sins that the Doctor would normally kick her out on her ear for.  Again, there is also less of an emphasis on the caring and compassioinate companion except for the unsubtle star whale incident and in general I think her character is simply less complex and formed than in pervious years.

Another thing that I couldn’t help but wonder about was the TARDIS.  It is sitting right outside the church and yet a power failure and a sticky, stubborn door cause havoic and mayhem.  Surely there is a wealth of technology within her huge halls to aid in their plight?

Now for the rating:  I’m oscillating between a 3 and a 4 star rank so let’s go 3 1/2 , ok maybe 3 3/4!

Favourite line: Doctor: “Oi! Don’t dis the sonic!” 

Doctor: “Oh, I love a big mining thing.  Way better than Rio. Rio doesn’t have a big mining thing.”

Rory: “If he can’t get us to Rio, how is he ever going to get us back home?”

Rory: “Doctor something weird’s going on here.  The graves are eating people.”

Doctor: “Not now, Rory.”

Eliot: “I can’t do the words, I’m dyslexic.”

Doctor: “Oh, that’s alright.  I can’t make a decent meringue.”

Doctor Who 5×07, “Amy’s Choice”

Doctor Who does introspective, character studies, something usually reversed for the fan fiction halls, was dashes of Doctorish drama and hints of Hugh Grant Rom-Com!

A rather satisfying 4 stars for this latest episode from my humble viewing sofa.

Basic catch-up plot summary: Two worlds, two lifestyles, two choices, two men!  One reality a romantic idyll of white picket fences, matrimony and burgeoning bellies and the other a TARDIS, a time travelling trio and technical difficulties.  Both boast of deadly danger; both feel real and with time marching on a choice must be made before it runs out and the inevitability of doom distinguishes life in either.

I have often bemoaned that with the tight 43 minute running time that one of the most provocative and inspiring shows of the last 50 years (literally in 3 years time) can’t address the aftermath, emotional repercussions and personal development imbued by a multiverse of adventure, adrenalin, amazing discovery and intimate regret, remorse and loss.  Luckily the insecurities of a 900 year old alien who talks without saying anything and runs without getting anywhere makes soap opera heart to hearts incongruous and unnecessary but for a man who loves so much, he holds all of time and space as home, those snippets of the man behind the sentient, sexy machine and manic quirks gravitate in their importance and meaning.

In this episode the bow-tie wearing, Tony & Guy gelled, bumbling, bookish, bombasticater of benevolence and sardonic sarcasm, the Doctor (played by Matt Smith) is bested by his own inner demons and rightly so these disorientating dreams are definitely better classified as nightmares. 

When we dream, day dream at least where our conscious minds are at least mostly in control we visualise personal portraits of perfection, what we want, what we esteem to become and often what we can never have.  These dreams states for our characters supposedly, through some psychic awareness, were composed of actual, private thoughts.

Now I think we can safely assume that “Upper Leadworth” was Rory’s ‘dream’, as the Doctor says, young Doctor, married to his dream girl who’s pregnant and living in a Beatrice Potter, hoity-toity town?

But what of the frosty ice burning star and the crippled TARDIS?  I doubt this came from Amy, possibly some of Rory’s fear in trusting technology he doesn’t understand and a Doctor who’s as much of a liability as a leader but mainly surely this came from the Doctor himself.  The last of the Timelords freezes when Gallifrey burned?  The cold, disfunctioning heart of the TARDIS with a small, frightened Doctor inside?

Death by aliens or death by the elements even in innocuous, rustic Leadworth?  Is this idea of choice and death also inspired by the Doctor?  His fears of not being able to save his companions, of being cheated by time itself, a certain factor as we had this 24esque 40minute countdown in real, or should I say dream, time.  And death, always lurking, always lying in wait in the end.  Of course then there’s the final crux, that BOTH realities, both dreams demanded the own Doctor’s death.  Is he dying to live or living to die?

The lack of input from Amy could symbolise her flighty but feisty indecision or maybe even just the Doctor’s own misunderstanding of women and humanity.

The idea of competition and self-respect and insecurity was also prevalent but by no means was this challenge a dreary dirge, oh no, it was a fun romp in majority; the Doc’s horror at domesticity, Amy the hefflelump, Rory ponytail from the land that time forgot and I loved the enemies in this. 

One, old people!  Normally ignored and considered of less value in the world, these frail, withering, wittering elders were secret assassins, the irony and amusement factor making the running from slow Zimmer frame folk purely precious.  As Rory found it’s hard to bash a pensioner, the thought sick and sordid to our sensibilities and as Monty Python discovered, it’s bloody funny to bash a pensioner and see them bouncing about in the pavement!

Two, ‘Ice, Ice, Baby’!  Natural elements, even the Lord of Time fears natural destructive phenomena that can be controlled, intellectualised, bested or beaten.

Three, the ‘Dream Lord’!  I’m chuffed with myself that I did work this twist out from the Doctor’s admission that there’s no one else in the universe that hates him as much as you (he) does.  This beautifully re-established the longevity, responsibility and alienness of Eleven and fed into the avenging tortured soul of the Doctor and his curse of the Timelords.

The only problem I had with this episode was its slightly Hollywood clichéd nature in the romantic realisation and simple man’s sacrifice.  Also Amy deciding that she didn’t want to live in a world without Rory and would take the chance of death to get back to him was fairly out of character, I thought, and no analysis was given to the fact that she assumed the Doctor would join in her potential lover’s suicide plot or the consequences of Amy being wrong.  Yeah she might wake up freezing next to a popsicle Rory but she might kill the Doctor and given the Timelord’s impact on the universe as a whole as a sensible and compassionate character a sacrifice of her life without Rory over the universe without their protector her choice should have been easy but burdened by selfless martyrdom, right?

Any way, all’s well that end’s well and what better an end than, “Just this once…everybody lives”!

Doctors have many challenges to face as they are perennially surrounded by patients, diseases, hospital duties and over-extended or odd shift timings. Universally, ‘doctor’ is considered to be a noble profession and respectable one at that, but a doctor also has to work under immense pressures, emotional strains and other physical challenges.

A regular physician like most of us at some point face will have to deal with personal situations such as important family affairs, family holidays, sickness or pregnancy that may force them to abandon medical duties. At the same time, a hospital or a healthcare facility is also constantly faced with emergency situations that demand all hands on deck round-the-clock. Therefore, every hospital, clinic or nursing home is compelled to hire ‘locum tenens’ or ‘substitute doctor’ in order to keep the staffing under control at all times.

In fact, locum doctors are the most valuable asset for the medical community because they provide quality medical care and act as a helping-hand in emergency situations when the medical facilities need them the most.

Unlike regular or permanent doctors, locum doctor jobs are also ideal career options for medical interns and graduates because they offer a wide array of medical exposure in varied medical specialties, work cultures and healthcare systems.

Locum jobs are challenging and flexible, thus an increasing number of medical professionals have benefitted from these jobs, so whether one is looking for a family physician’s position or in a hospital or in a clinic, locum jobs for doctors are available at all levels and in different healthcare systems.

In addition, being a locum doctor gives a medical professional the control over their working hours, location of work and choice of area of specialisation.

Technically, locum positions are not restricted to general physicians but they are also extended to other fields of medical specialisations such as cardiology, neurology and many more.

Travelling can be an integral part of locum jobs, and these distinctive features are a boon for many dedicated medical professionals who are eager to expand their medical careers with loads of multi-cultural medical experiences. The fact that locum agencies in the UK recruit tens of thousands of locums from across the globe in various NHS hospitals, private clinics, nursing homes and other public hospitals speaks volume of the popularity of locum jobs.

Locating or getting a locum tenens job is a simple task as long as you are registered with one of the many reputable locum agencies. These agencies act as the middle man between locum tenens and medical facilities, and they also look after all the details pertaining to travel for locum tenens, accommodation and the nature of locum work.

Thus, maintaining a healthy ‘locum doctor-agency’ relationship benefits both the parties, and it also increases the probability of getting recommendable employment opportunities and businesses or vice-versa.
