<big><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Any one who has
taken physiology and "got it" (figured it out)<br>
should understand the body as a system. So it's<br>
not so very profound to say that it is a system.<br>
(Really? No shit, Sherlock?)<br>
<br>
Unfortunately the level of medicine and biology has still not
risen high enough<br>
to fully understand the flows and connections in the body as
so to<br>
really understand acupuncture which also is a system oriented
methodology.<br>
<br>
In the name of "quality medical service" (a fraudulent and
deceptive bit of prose)<br>
the practice of medicine has been maintained as a closed shop
and people<br>
are forced to pay exorbitant tolls to pass over the bridge to
wellness.<br>
All in the name of a lie to make sure that the coffers of the
trolls are well-filled.<br>
<br>
The medical-insurance-pharmaceutical industrial complex has
cast dams across the<br>
rivers of healing. <b><i>You will damn well pay them</i></b>,
or<b> </b><u><b>they will most surely let you die</b>. </u><br>
(it's a <i>passive</i> matter, mind you...)<br>
<br>
That should be frightening enough but I indeed doubt that any
one with<br>
ability to change the system will rise up against it, because
the same demon serpents that<br>
are wrapped around the staff of medicine are also wrapped tightly
around the spines<br>
of the people.<br>

<br>
In the world that all of you live in and most of you dare not
to shake,<br>
the system has such inertia that incredible sums of money are
required to <br>
push any innovation. They will have to be scientists to
understand the body<br>
since most are not sensitive enough to visualize the meridians
even if with the aid of a map<br>
they are pointed out. In a world that worships stupidity, any
positive action is<br>
a pure act of the will.<br>
<br>
A Canadian doctor who died of some bacterial infection 75 years
ago,<br>
(in a small county town a hundred or so miles west of here)
had this to say:<br>
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1416608466926_5080"><font

<blockquote><big><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Medicine,
as we are practising it, is a luxury trade. We are selling
bread at the price of jewels. ... <br>
Let us take the profit, the private economic profit, out of
medicine, and purify our profession of rapacious
individualism ... <br>
Let us say to the people not ' How much have you got?' but '
How best can we serve you?' <br>
<br>
</font></big></big></blockquote>
<big><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">The day before
Bethune died he wrote:<br>
"... Please give my Kodak Retina II camera to comrade Sha
Fei. Norman Bethune, 04:20pm, November 11th, 1939"<br>
<br>
Some famous guy wrote about Bethune: <br>
</font></big></big>
<blockquote><big><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">
Comrade Bethune’s spirit, his utter devotion to others
without any thought of self, was shown in his great sense of
responsibility in his work and his great warm-heartedness
towards all comrades and the people ... We must all learn
the spirit of absolute selflessness from him. With this
spirit everyone can be very useful to the people. A man’s
ability may be great or small, but if he has this spirit, he
is already noble-minded and pure, a man of moral integrity
and above vulgar interests, a man who is of value to the
people.<br>
</font></big></big></blockquote>
<big><big><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">He says we
should learn, but quite frankly I do not quite know how this
thing can be <i>taught</i>.<br>
Pete Wall said, "Either you is, or you ain't". Perhaps that's
more of <br>
an observation than a sentencing. Let's hope so.<br>
<br>
The spirit seems to exist exterior to the intellect. It might
be possible to teach one to follow it<br>
and learn its ways.<br>
<br>
*<br>
...So they pervert the power to heal into the power to gain
wealth.<br>
<br>
It's very hard to find any nice and civil words for a skank
like your Chancellor Wise<br>
or any really wise way to deal with the problem of a
Chancellor Wise.<br>
<br>
*<br>
<br>
It ain't easy working with people. They can be ugly and often
they don't smell good.<br>
They can hurt you badly when you try to help them.<br>
They build corrals and strong pens for handling cattle because
it is a necessity.<br>
<br>
But your medical complex has taken the dealing with people
problem to an extreme and <br>
it has become a malady unto itself.<br>
<br>
Most who want reform dare not challenge the halls of
medicine. They just<br>
want someone other than themselves to cough up Moloch's fare.<br>

A useful, well written article, but it does not
negate the possibility that the idea of having the
proposed medical facility in C_U is a good idea
for medicine, UIUC, and for society ultimately.
That the affiliation is with Carle, the only
feasible partner here, is not in itself a
negative. Medical schools all over the nation have
affiliated and expanded with private hospitals. I
think the idea has merit, even if I have come to
despise Wise for her behavior with regard to
Salaita and for her denying the obvious in that
case. She is a liar. Now, we are told, usefully,
of her corporate connections and possible
conflicts of interest. . But as for the idea, it
may be a plus for the community. That UIC doesn’t
like it, nor Provenance of Christie is expected in
this competitive arena.

<div class="yiv5980963640">Finally, of course we
desperately need a radically revised
medical/health system in the U.S., but UIUC
cannot make this happen alone, so to criticize
it on that basis seems futile and irrelevant.
