From Jeddah Daily Photo Journal, 1 month ago, Read 2 times. Similar articles

Women are largely unemployed and underutilized here in Saudi Arabia. There are many restrictions placed on women working here: by society, by religion, by husbands and fathers, by culture. Traditionally the only positions women basically can hold are in education or in healthcare. However women are making small strides in the workforce. The two women on the left in this photo are actually working in a local mall’s family entertainment area. I was also surprised to see another woman... Read more

An Open Note to Dentists and Physicians

From Thoughts like music, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

I'd love to think that this would make a change for the better, but something tells me that any healthcare professional will immediately discount it because I'm but a lowly patient. Ah well, hope springs eternal. Do not tell patients to 'relax'. Don't ask patients to 'relax'.Saying 'relax' to a client is unproductive.'Relax' is a pointless directive when you're on the giving end of treatment.(Shall I say it a few more ways or have you got it')Again, I'm guessing that the people this is...

From GuateLiving, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Increasing numbers of expats-to-be are writing asking about health care in Guate. I’ve written about a few of our experiences before, so visit the Healthcare category to read more. Guatemala does have socialist-style public health care. In theory even a foreigner can go to a public hospital and get care at little or no cost. I have heard from other expats that they’ve gone in an emergency and the treatment they received was good. My own opinion is that if I can pay, I should,... Read more

?Any jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build one.? – LBJ Amazingly we get the AARP BULLETIN mailed to us in Panama roughly about the same time folks get it back home in the US. I came across this Editorial by Jim Toedtman, Editor, which kind of sums up a lot of my feelings about the ongoing healthcare debate in the US. Johnson did have a way with words! Angrily, President Lyndon Johnson went west late in 1964. For the third straight year, Congress had failed to... Read more

Non-Americans Under Misconception that Healthcare Is Now Completely Secure for Americans

From Expat Abroad, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Most of my European and non-American friends (including my foreign husband) are under the misconception that the access to healthcare problem is now “solved.” Many people I know seem to think that everyone now has affordable, reliable access to health care. Unfortunately, that is still not the case. First of all, these changes are not effective immediately (which is met with incredulity by my husand and some friends). My understanding is that these changes will be fully... Read more
