Hi, just for an early Sunday morning start:
Q1: When we consider to use Open Source and Free OS on our own systems and not M$ Windoz... Q2: When we will ban ALL money related transactions starting in healtcare? Q3: When we will stop training licensed killers and start educating real "doctors"?. Note: It is not their fault; the system's...Most are even not aware of this fact; but they better do soon! I think the society needs very badly more GPs than some senseless specialists that consider a human being as an organ/tissue system? Q4: When we stop talking about security in healthcare information systems and start doing something that makes sense instead of inhibiting the innovation? Q5: When we establish (civil) organizations just for the sake of doing good for society instead of satisfying egos (of some megalomanic administrators) and the need for middle-age rituals? Q6: When we start using skype (or some other free communication/collaboration tools) instead of making already giant telecom companies even stronger? Q8: Here's the killer: When we will stop giving credit to the "non-humanistic" School of Hippocrates and the famous oath and start considering the long-forgotten "humanistic" School of Knidos (In Medicine)....I spend most of my summer holidays in Bodrum; a Turkish town just 3 km away from the island of Kos where Hippocrates lived...But some 20 miles south of Kos there is an antique region called Knidos which was the home of Humanistic Medical School and we all forgot about it... Koray P.S. Also regarding QA and Testing in SW I want to ask the question: Has the nature made any testing before releasing Homo Sapiens V1.0 on earth? So why we bother? Just release and see if it survives....(of course not the embedded SW of some pacemaker or ICU devices! That's another story.... _____ From: openhealth@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Norris Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 7:27 AM To: openhealth@yahoogroups.com Subject: [openhealth] RE: The Question Great topic! Here's one- When will more not-for-profit medical organizations band together and share in the development of open source software for their common interests? Dangerous in that I think it is disruptive and inevitable. John ***** Art, Information, and Ceramics. http://www.john-norris.net ***** _____ YAHOO!
