Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com From: "J. Colaco < jc>" Dear Fr Ivo, I believe that the good Dr Gilbert was actually referring to the principle of 'medical confidentiality' - not what you have referred to below ***No, Dr.J.Colaço, I do not think so. Surgery is costly and often without the desired effects... Regards. Fr.Ivo Ivo da C.Souza icso...@bsnl.in Yes, Dr.Gilbert. It is a delicate issue that of health care. We in Goa are complaining that it is so costly to be in the hospital for a few days. Drugs are costly, physicians' fees are high. In fact, life is costly. It is costly to become sick. Something you may not encounter in Goa. Thinking on your feet. Now you know why the cost of healthcare is so high.:=)) Regards, Gilbert An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist. He shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist's desk, he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a wrestler. He gave her his name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, "YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE. YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?" All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, "NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS." DON'T MESS WITH OLD FOLKS.:=))

Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Goans are quite smart. So please don't listen to anyone tell you that they cannot think on their feet. Please also don't let anybody deceive you with false information regarding public health. In line with the corrections that Bosco posted separately, the top 10 causes of death in India do not include cancer. The claim earlier that one in three deaths are due to cancer is bogus. Also irresponsible and false is the blanket claim that cancer is incurable. Here are the top 10 causes of death in India, all of which are curable and/or preventable: Ischemic heart disease - 15% of all deaths Lower respiratory infections - 11% of all deaths Cerebrovascular disease - 7% of all deaths Perinatal conditions - 7% of all deaths Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - 5% of all deaths Diarrheal diseases - 4% of all deaths Tuberculosis - 4% of all deaths HIV/AIDS - 3% of all deaths Road traffic accidents - 2% of all deaths Self-inflicted injuries - 2% of all deaths The death rate from cancer is about 1.5% of all deaths. Apollo Cancer Institutes and other prominent cancer institutes have reported that with modern scientific medical treatment and latest technologies of early detection almost 70 - 80% of cancer patients can be cured.
