Re: Figaro?

ginloi,

I guess I don't " read the language " so could you explain what

" find the Figaro " means?

Thanks for the kind words; it is so easy for people to become discouraged

when those who are charged with their care turn their backs.

It is symtomatic of the long, slow, slide into corruption that our many of

our professions have taken. When things were good and the economy

was better, people were not paying attention.

While we are at war, everything 'we' do will help some poor soldier with

Gulf War Illness and the fight will never have been more fierce. It is a

" collateral " struggle.

There are vaccine troubles, and bacteria toxins and mycotoxin issues

which many industries have been dealing with on a grand scale and who

have not stepped up. Agribusiness and Veternary Medicine have a wealth

of information and I don't hear anyone stepping up to the plate. NIMBY.

Not In My Back Yard.

Today in France the OB-GYNS are on strike because their " assurance " -

insurance is not fully covering claims against them. These docs are out

on the streets. People are paying attention. It is full court press when

there is a strike of any kind in that country, and interesting that the docs

have taken on the insurance companies. Think docs will ever get to a

point where they challenge the insurers as a block? In this country? In

this century?

For those who read the language find the Figaro.

It is the newspaper where the story ran...I was surprised that the docs were as

" organized " as any other labor unions, there. France is really the birthplace of

the unions with the miners organized in about the 1850-1860 time frame.

There is a movie entitled " Germinal " based on Emile Zola's book, of the same

title, which depicts poor working conditions. Gerard Depardieu is in the lead

role. Organized labor flows openly to the " professions " in a way we don't see

in this country.

It was not the " issue " for the docs, which flowed from a court case, rather than

the " organization " which is less like an " old boys club " but can be a vehicle

for policy change, even though it appears to " further the professional

interests, " which I found impressive.

It is less " veiled " than the " associations " or " colleges " that we have become

accustomed to. I guess the word is the new p.c. word that makes people nervous.

Transparency.
