Ten million? This number never ceases to grow. And which Socialist
government did you have in mind?

10 years with an aging population and the number of doctors has grown
roughly 10%. No where near enough to keep up.

And that is why people leave the country for health care.


Are you a bit math challenged?
How in the hell did you calculate 10 percent?



Consultants and nurses aren't doctors. GPs between 10 and 20% per the
numbers above.


Do you know what they mean by consultants?
Are you SURE they aren't doctors? Do you know what a GPs is?
How about GP as General Practice, and Consultants being specialists.

For further assistance, see:

Now, recalculate.

I suspect there has been a substantial increase in the number of
Consultants specializing in elderly medical issues.

Well we won't have to worry about that because at the current
comparative rates of growth it will take China most of a century to
catch up to the US.


Actually, at current rates, it will overtake the United States by
2034, in far less than one century.

China is growing at an annual rate of 9.9%; the USA is growing at an
annual rate of 3.5%. The USA has a GDP of $12.49 trillion; China has
a GDP of $2.225 trillion. It will thus take China 27.8 years to
overtake the United States. There is good reason to believe that the
actual time will be less, since the growth rate of China is
increasing.


China has 4 times the population of the US so for them to catch up to
the US they have to have 4 times the GDP. Try the math again. Comes to
around 60 years.

Further your reasoning about time being less is severely flawed for one
basic reason. There is one and only one reason why China is capable of
growing at 10% per year. It is because there economy is so low now.

(Kind of like a company advertizing that it is the "fastest growing"
company in the market. Almost always implies that they are just about
the smallest.)

Mature economies like the US and Europe simply can't grow at that rate.
And neither can China for very long. As China improves from "Somalia
level almost 4th world poor" to something similar to, say, Thailand
they will not be able to sustain 10% growth. Simply impossible.

So if you include that simply economic fact into your equation then
unless the US collapses China will not catch it this century at all.

That would be the National Socialist government that ran Germany at the
time. Perhaps you've heard of them?

Oh yeah, they had that odd form of socialized medicine with Doctors like
Dr. Josef Mengele. I don't think he invented St. Josef's Aspirin for
Children.

Which means what, exactly?

Besides, the better practitioners constantly check on things, and
update their knowledge and skills.


So do I.


You have demonstrated very little knowledge in this ng. Your skills? What
skills?

There are very few cold-related deaths in winter.


that could make a good epitaph.

Too many people here are more concerned with attacking me than they
are with finding out the truth.


they are concerned with harmless timewasting on usenet, just like
you.

Following up to Keith Willshaw

Now we expect you to weasel, lie and obfuscate to avoid admitting you
were wrong but dont imagine you are fooling anybody, except
perhaps for yourself. Ignorance is pardonable and fixable
but stubbornly adhering to error is rather sad.


this is classic Mixi territory. He knows its hard to make a
concrete link between the common winter killer diseases and cold,
we all know thousands die every winter from them, he knows he can
defend his position that theres no link between colds (say) and
winter, you have to decide if (a) hes really interested in the
existence of a link (b) do you care enough to present information
to prove something observation clearly shows to happen?
