The US/UK i think have a tendency to over do in health sector!HMO and doctors slugging it out in california shall prove it out!litigation prone is a second thought and a tendency to get poky at everything,by that i would mean, it was unbelievable when i heard lawyers roam in Hospitals, searching for clients and offer free service for litigation!(tht is overboard)!{pls do correct me i m wrong anywhere!}. so are the legal provisions. In a context they are supposed to help patients but who should decide for whom, and to what extent is the question! In India its like a WWE!free for all!Govt hospitals,pvt clinics,corporate hospt, nursing homes and what not!choice is wide but results are unknown(we r not statistically inclined nation)!and Govt run Insurance policies,TPA, and Pvt Insurance companies with their own premiums and policies make a murky picture murkier!so what is the advantage! as a doctor by the time u graduate,if u have done ur postings seriously, u would have seen atleast 10000 patients!wow!some practical knowledge that!teachers r excellent and knowledge base i high!so indian doctors r good at diagnosing and treatment modalities! Nice article tht and some insight now i have on Japanese system! what u said i very true!i think there r two ways of looking at medicine as a faculty of science!one,would be to look at it as something u will provide for treating patients and another as a science!science would encompass many things!not only knowledge of treatment but all of it that goes into it!Japanese perhaps have understood it!money driven socities will never find peace and satisfaction no matter how hard u try!

If I could afford to stay here til then and miss out on next block I would, believe me ~_~ morical - there is a difference, yes. though as I said it depends on the men. some are the quiet types who speak nicely and the others are the loud types that use a lot of slang. I haven't found a woman who doesn't use polite terms though...

The government pays for most of it. Downside is, that in case you have anything which does not require immediate actions, there tends to be long waiting lists (I waited for 1 year for a shoulder operation). And of course general taxes here are unbelievable high compared to ones in UK and US :( But back to my first comment, have you notices any differences in understanding Japanese spoken by females and males? Does the selection of words they use have differences in normal life? I mean in sense of politeness, because for lot of times (in anime obviously) I keep hearing this very polite (and more understandable) tone in the way women speak in general. Men on the other hand use lots of "street" language and basic forms of words, which I find difficult to understand. Especially when spoken fast! This is prolly due the fact that we foreigners learning the language are taught the polite version at first... Enjoy your time there!

When I go back to the US, one of the top criteria is a good health plan because I'm fairly sure I won't find anything as good (but I'm hoping for close). :( On the other hand, I have to admit that I like the US dental and eye care plans better.
