Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

It's your body and your life. You get what you pay for. And you want to leave that to someone else to decide? Good luck.

You can get a lot of surgeries done in Thailand, yes THAILAND, in state-of-the-art surgical suites by American trained doctors for only 1/3rd the price the same services performed in substandard decaying facilities in America.

Why can they do it for 1/3rd? Because they don't have as many parasites asking for a cut of the money over there.

Twenty four hour shifts. Heavy medical school debt after graduation. The threat of lawsuits always looming. Who's to say what a doctor is worth?
Not to worry. The industrial revolution is coming to the medical industry. Robots will be performing surgeries, no need for individual surgeons. Kind of like a sweatshop turning out sweaters. Lasik eye surgery is already performed by a robot if you don't believe it can happen.

Substandard decaying facilities in America?

John Hopkins
University of Chicago
Barnes Jewish
Massachusetts General
UCLA
The Cleveland Clinic
New York University

Some of the top hospitals not only in America but the world and you say we have substandard in America? CENTRAL AMERICA perhaps.

They also don't have the glorious US government sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong. If it works in Thailand without the government, why is the only possible answer here to give the government total control?

Lasik surgery is not done by robots, wrong again, Sparky.

And you are mistaken if you think any surgery will be done BY a robot. Robotic surgery entails a surgeon manipulating a robot.

There are many different surgeries that will never use robotics.

Well, technically it will be done eventually, but that has nothing to do with the health care debate.
