I'm looking for some mailing lists or newsgroups to discuss the issues of medical care in English. I'd glad that you would give me some information. Thanks.
Huh... There were many places to discuss medical issues in 1990's. I wonder the Internet communication got ordinary, and few medical people can keep their interests to discuss the issues in the Inter- net.

>>11 You mean most patients do not get information from the media rightly, or the media does not give them right information about medical care? The media is supposed to serve too much information for viewers to digest it.
This KATSURA is not mine. It's not my stile. It belong to Dick. Dick,Odura.Tv caster of Tokudane. He's the guy who tried to ban 2channel because he feels that 2channel diminishes the intelligence of our youth. Come on ,Dick. It's the only education we've got.
SMA-Station emphasized Japanese people are poor at speaking and listening in English. I guess, however, that there are no Japanese doctors who stall at the immigration office.
Godwin's Law: prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.

Why do you think the Japanese can't speak or listen to English? Lack of education system? If you stay United States for a year, you may be able to speak English fruently? However,A lot of the Japanese that goes back say that as soon as we get back to their regular life style in Japan, we don't use any English and we soon forget. (Gush!) It is difficult for us to quite English pronunciation,especially,consonnant(Shiin). Surely, you have to practice in pronucing. You also need to listen to a lot more live English, for example, English radio program,AFN,and CNN....
Friend of mine is pure "TEXAN" It is not the name of medicine of the urology department, he is an American guy speaking English with a heavy provincial accent, just like "Tohoku-ben" or "kagoshima-ben" by the case of Japan. But any problem cannot be found in conversation with him. Now, internationalization is needed for all doctor, but I think that the most important point is capability of communication.
Texan guy is American not Japanese.It's like Osakan in Tokyo. Since he speaks English there're no communication problems with Americans. I think Japanese should start with pronauncing and stop studying by deconstructing sentence to components. While English S-V-O consequence differs from Japanese one(S-O-V),it is crucial to get the tip of using SVO sentence before learning any other things.Pronouncing English also can acquire accent ability. In speaking any language there're certain kind of accentation that natives feel cozy and don't. I think as accentation of sentence is by far minimized in Japanese education, we can't "speak" English. But I don't regard the situation pessimistic because I utterly agree with the "capability of communication" is the core matter of communication and as Japanese are also human on the earth we communicate each other to live just like English speaking people do,and they'll soon know that "English speaking ability"does not always correspond to the man's intelligence. (We should be able to anyway.)
>>64 Don't be silly! You got 875 scores when U was undergraduated student!? Really!? If so, congratulation.
I just wonder how many doctors can understand English. Well...OK! If foreigner come to your office, say "Ouch!Mmmmm.... I have diarrhea.... P...Please...give me binding medicines!",and you are poor at English, what are you doing? You might think " Diah...rrehea!? what's mean? ...Maybe... diamonds!? He means he swallowed them!?"(Too bad!)
Philippine goverment under negotiation of FTA say that Japanses goverment should take Philippine nurses like United States. If we take them, doctors need to speak English more and more.
>>63 読み書きできれば医師になれるもんな。話すのと聞くのは受験には関係なかったね。 センター試験でListeningは採用されるようだけれど。 If you can read and write in English, you will be able to be a medical doctor. The entrance exam of medical school did not include listening and speaking in English. The new National Center Test for University Admissions, however, is likely to adopt the listening exam.
>>78 You could have Yoshinoya's in the every large city around the world. First, you'll have to fight against the US again. US troops,however, have had many military bases in Japan. What tactics do you have under such circumstances?
Oh, Of course I knew that, but I value the beauty of the JAPANESE style.^^ mmm...I want a UDN syndrome to spread in the world because I am a vegetarian.
>>83 Though your attempt to change dietary habits could help US people, the news today said that low carbohydrate diet is popular now in the US, and flour and pasta producers had serious damage from that. Thereby, I doubt that Japanese dietary style can be adopted by them.
Isn't there who that has wish to invade and conquer world and, make Japanese language as world's lingua franca? Then we can eat miso-soup around the world, it's so cool, isn't it?
When skilled ALT’s read or listen to Japanese-English Creole, they will realize how Japanese people think. I’m afraid that there are few people who thankfully correct our wrong English usage. Many foreigners become reticent or quit to communicate with us when we are not communicate with them fluently in English.
>>105 The length of sentences written in Japanese in this message board is not so long, almost in one or two columns. I don't think the sentences in English in this thread is almost the same, not so different on length.
Language A: Tar pyamash tet gau zasday ne ovneg zaha. Language B: Beigi witabanu ko shuremi dadari sa. Language C: Apshnekihardagio weteworkkinoshita ar. Language D: Pu deir han kuikui sutu ruike chagu mada.
>>113 Are you weird? Or adhensional guy? You are more suitable for the proofreading person than a doctor. Go publishing company of madical document(laugh
>>113 Huh, you should have said that in English. You can read a document in English, but can not write what you want to say in English. Then you must not blame the others.
I don't know the difference between "行ってよし" and "逝ってよし." in Japanese. >>126's opinion is these are the same in meaning, but the expression is different in Japanese, thereby she/he would change the expression in English, I guess.
It is ridiculous that the Japanese troops that is sent to Iraq is called SDF, Self Defence Force. That should be called the Japanese Army. It sounds like Japanese Agricultural Corporation, though.
If the Japanese Army killed many inocent Iraqi there in a confused situation, many Japanese soldiers would suffer in the minds as well as the US soldiers at the Vietnam war.
The Israeli will never forget what JRA did in Tel-Avivt airport. The Japanese army sent to Iraq helps them indirectly to support the US troops that attack their enemy. That's a mysterious fatality, isn't it?
Are you saying Japanese army has something to do with JRA??? Ridiculous! Around 70% of Japanese considers the situation as mortal mistake,not fatal, yet I regard it as a wise decision.I hope all those non-democratic governments on the earth will somehow be "ABORNED" during this century. Think if Osama Bin-Raden got nukes-- how do we stop him use that!?
Have the US troops found any mass destruction weapons in Iraq? What's the justice of the war? Do you have an idea to solve the the issue of pollution by depleted uranium shells?
How is the Japanese government supposed to treat the soldiers of SDF who exposed irradiation from the depleted uranium shells? They would inhale small particles of DU.
>>151 Unless indivual soldiers sleep holding the residual of the DU, risk factors for radiation induced malignancy, bone marrow depression, and other adverse sequele will be estiated to be not significant.
What about the risks of inhalation, Like those in Okinawa? They must have used it so microparticles of DU still remain in the environment,dont they? Fetal abnormality or the rate of specific neoplasms is apparently higher in those citizens who have envolned in the galf war and there surely are the relasionship of the DU shells which American army have used at that time.
Probably, the SDF headquater would continue physical exams of their soldiers for years after they come back from Iraq: incidence rate of respiratory tract cancer, leukemia, malignant lymphoma and other kinds of cancer. In addition, psychiatric exam will be performed because it's the first time to send troops abroad.
In my opinion, the US government attempts for other nations to fight against each other in Asia and Middle East. If they unite each other, they would be the large enemy to the US, then the US know that. Japan should unite with China and other nations in Asia. I do not know why the nations in Asia and Middle East have to hate each other.
Absolutely. You can't negotiate with Chinese, can you??? You are maybe staying in tiny islands and never dream of going out there,but once you get out you'll know there're many different ways of thinking and kinds of people.You should study about China more. I wonder why those so-colled "foreign minister" is made of non- returnee staffs;that directly means they turns into a bunch of idiots in international negotiation. The earth is not "only Japanese",is it?
We don’t need to negotiate with the delegates of China in Chinese, because the nation is ruled typically by bureaucracy, and because they are the elites who speak English fluently. You know what the US thinks now and in future; No other large nations and alliance are NOT necessary and bothersome for them. They keep trying to erase such latent enemies. I think the Minister of Foreign Affairs doesn’t need to be a diplomat, and she/he should be an excellent politician. It is like the difference between tactics and strategy.
US deeply needs alliance and they are sane,or more sane.Not drunk. They know what they want and that is a global order.I don't really like those American economies that are "embedded" in their politics, but to ally with US is the only way to survive without certain kind of actual forces.And,saddly the diplomacy is under the perfect control of such minister. You say China is more trustworthy?I strongly insist that Japanese have mislead by those medias who are extraordinally for the Chinese government.I dare say they're "embedded" in that stuff. Recently Chinese has killed many many citizens in Tibet,Uighur, Tiananmen Square,and in the Proletarian Cultural Revolution in incomprehensible reasons,which all those bloody Japanese medias has hidden in secret.You know the Sinocentrism? All you have to do is to go there and see what is really happening, before thinking any other things.I believe the Pacific war could have been eluded if those people are really well informed about other counties' nature.
>>177 I’m so pleased to discuss such an international issues with you. So, concerning what you mentioned in the first paragraph, I agree to your opinion. The military-industrial complex in the US rules the current administration, and compels their standards from all nations in the world for their benefits. You know it is so-called “Unilateralism.” Such subordination, however, is equal to the relation between the Chinese administration and peripheral minorities, isn’t it? Why do you want to obey the US and hate to obey China, even though the US government is getting to make more of China than Japan as a trading partner? In the Age of Great Voyages, Portugal and Spain divided the entire world into two of theirs. Nowadays, it looks like that the UK and US would do the same. You seems to hate the violation of human rights in China, but they will have to change themselves as long as they will be one of the advanced countries.
>>201 1) A 30-year-old man, who had vomitted coffee-groundlike materials twice in these two days, visited this hospital. His physician palpated his abdomen and ordered an UGI study. 2) I'm very surprised you are to return to X university in the united states soon. It was a great pleasure to work with you. I hope your success.
