    Fear rules most of the western populations as near as I can tell…
    Fear is the ultimate tool of control and the object of that fear doesn’t even need to be tangible…

    Chatting with my wife today about doctors and how westerners are so unwilling to blame the doctor when the make a mistake and someone dies. The usual response is “Well the doctors did their best, it was not mean’t to be …”.

    My wife, who reads mostly Chinese news, tells me that she reads many stories from China where the doctors live in fear of violence. It is quite common for a doctor to be beaten up by the family of his patients if he kills the patient … or even just doesn’t save them. My wife thinks this is not very civilised and that the doctors should not be treated this way. I disagree, I think it is excellent; meritocracy.

    Doctors in China earn a respectable income but do have above average status. They are not part of the polical landscape – the CCP does not need to be nice to doctors to win votes – as they are in Europe, so they do not get grotesque wages like they do in Europe. There are still loads of Chinese doctors and all the ones I have met have been very effective and very efficient and have to work hard for their money.
