Or it might be
34、 that the patient has a potentially embarrassing problem that he or she does not want to discuss with his or her regular general practitioner.Some people who are ill-suited to their career choice are always going to slip through the system. In other words, if you are allocated a doctor you dont like
35、 or who is a dud, you are likely to be stuck with him. Of course, the government will make some noises about “freedom of choice“; but in the end, a doctor who hangs up his shingle and succeeds or fails according to the quality of service he offers is going to provide a better quality of service than
36、 a public employee.Now, all doctors, including general practitioners, must be members of the appropriate professional body, which accredits them as qualified practitioners. This means they must first finish medical school and then qualify as surgeons, physicians, ophthalmologists or psychiatrists.Th
37、is postgraduate training is arduous and expensive, and practitioners naturally expect a return on their investment of time, energy and moneythe average medical graduate is left with tens of thousands of dollars in university fees.Much is made of the top professionals who make millions, but the avera
38、ge GP is running a practice that gives him a barely adequate return on his investment in professional development. Indeed, many GPs complain they are virtually government employees relying on Medicare to pay their bills, but the “virtually“ is important. They remain independent professionals who suc
39、ceed or fail according to the service they provide.The recent moves to widen the scope of nurse practitioners concern many GPs. While nurse practitioners may have a role in isolated areas, a nurse is not a substitute for a general practitioner, who has years of undergraduate and postgraduate trainin
40、g in family medicine. Expanding the role of nurse practitioners may simply be an axe to wield again the ancient enemy, the family GP. Many nurses have specialist training, which makes them indispensable in the medical system; but a nurse is not a substitute for professionally-trained general practit
41、ioners with years more education behind them.Minister Roxons move to cut Medicare payments for cataract surgery again flies in the face of reality. On the face of it, it may seem plausiblebetter technology equals cheaper prices.If the Fred Hollows Foundation can do cataract surgery for $25, why cant
42、 an Australian ophthalmologist? The reason is that an Australian eye-doctor is running a practice. He has to pay a receptionist, an accountant, rent for his rooms and so onin other words, he has fixed costs, which means the money goes into a lot of pockets apart from his own. In fact, he cant absorb
43、 the cost cuts that the government is asking him to accept.From News Weekly, November 28, 200988 What did the Health Minister propose?（A）to cut the medical profession all over the country（B） to allocate the patients to doctors on a list basis（C） to increase the incentives of the medical workers（D）to
44、 revise the policy on the medical profession89 The patient may think some doctors are better than others NOT because_.（A）some doctors are more competent（B） there is a simple personality clash（C） they have more difficult problems（D）they sometimes want a second opinion90 When doctors finish medical sc

47、velopment.（C） Most of the general practitioners are working for the government-controlled service.（D）Australian ophthalmologists have fixed costs so they cannot do cataract surgery.92 Nords Net: “Ways of Knowing“ for the Science ClassroomIt is apparent that Professor Warren A. Nord has found Eddingt
48、ons parable of a fishermans net advantageous in supporting his side of an ongoing discussion about religion and science in school curricula. He has employed the story on a number of occasions in various articles. Readers should not carelessly absorb “Nords Net,“ however. Whenever any given allegory
49、finds widespread and frequent employment in intellectual discussion, it deserves some scrutiny - which is the purpose of this essay.You may not be familiar with the net parable, so lets have Nord himself acquaint you with the tale. The following is a quote that succinctly summarizes both the parable and Nords direct application of it. It comes from Taking Religion Seriously Across the Cu
