What Health Care Can Learn 
from a 200 Year Old Economics Lesson?

Hi, everyone here!!
I’ve found one interesting health innovation article
and I think this article will be the good sample
to learn from the parallel of the wellness industry.
 
Imagine you were in a different line of work? If you worked for the prisoner relocation industry in England during 1790 and you had to transport your cargo to Australia without killing them.

 
During the 18th century, the British government began hiring ship captains to transport masses of prisoners to Australian penitentiaries. Unfortunately, rough seas of the crossing and ineffective nutrition and medical care along the way took a fatal toll on the individuals being transported. When the time passed by, the public and church railed against the government’s morality failing in allowing the ongoing carnage and then the government soon was involved in scandal. Therefore, the British government responded with a host of new rules for prisoner transport and made the reforms. However, these reforms came with encouragements for the captains, they weren’t aligned effectively with the sought but they found more reward in selling the government-issued supplemental food at port rather than giving it to the prisoners to keep them alive, this made the high mortality rates continued. But enter a smart economist of the time who proposed a better idea, and everything changed.  The only pay the sea captains for each prisoner that walked off the ship alive in Australia (not for how many boarded in England).Then the survival rates shot up to 99%.

This crisis gives some lessons for us that if we want to truly motivate real and lasting healthy behavior change, incentives must be directly aligned with the outcome we want to achieve.

At a hospital dialogue and indirect speech

Hey!! See you guys again here =) Today I have a dialogue at hospital. I hope it will be useful for you guys in case you have to take a treatment oversea. Furthermore, I have also changed the dialogue to reported speech so that you can easily read it.

At a hospital

John      :  Hello Doctor!                  
Doctor :  Hello John! What is wrong with you?
John      :  I am not feeling well.
DoctorWhat is the matter with you?
John      :  I have a headache and a sore throat.
Doctor  : I doubt you have a fever.
John      :  Yes.
Doctor  Please lie down on the bed. I will examine you.
John     :  Thanks.
Doctor  :  You need to relax more.
John      Doctor, what if I don’t get better?
Doctor  :  If you don’t get better in these two weeks, then you have to come back.
John      :  Why?
Doctor  :  Because you might have something serious.
John      Thank you.
Doctor  :  You are welcome. Please go and collect your medicine.
John      Thank you, Good bye.
Doctor  :  Good bye.

Reported Speech

John came to a hospital because he wasn’t feeling well so a doctor asked him what the matter with him was. Then John answered in the affirmative that he had a headache and a sore throat which were general symptoms of a fever. Therefore the doctor asked him to lie down on the bed so that he could examine him. After that the doctor suggested him to relax more because he looked nervous. John questioned the doctor what if he didn’t get better. The doctor then replied that if he didn’t get better in those two weeks, he had to come back because he might have something serious. After the diagnosis, John said thanked you and went to collect his medicine.

“MEDICINAL ICE CREAM” 
TO EASE CANCER TREATMENT


Scientists are working on a medicinal ice cream to combat the side-effects of chemotherapy.
Researchers at the University of Auckland are joining forces with dairy giant Fonterra to create a new dessert that would soothe the unpleasant side-effects of cancer treatments.
Named 'ReCharge', the strawberry-flavoured 'medicinal' ice cream uses active ingredients from diary products to combat symptoms including an inflamed mouth, nausea and diarrhoea, loss of appetite and lowered immunity.
"We chose ice cream because it is an easily palatable food," says Dr Jeremy Hill, the chief technology officer at Fonterra.
"It was one that we could put the enriched components in a very high concentration and deliver it to people who actually find it difficult to consume food during the treatment."
The beneficial dairy components have been combined into a single daily serve of ice cream that patients would otherwise have to drink 25 litres of milk to get.
The first round of patients have already been recruited to trial the ice cream at 100 gram 'doses' each day. It's expected that results from the trial will be released in the next 12 months.
If successful, this could be the first prescription ice cream to be sold at the chemist!
 
Accoring to this news, I definitely agree with this new discovery to create the ice cream as if this research is successful, it will be the great alternative way to ease the unpleasant side-effects of chemotherapy, such as inflamed mouth, nausea and diarrhea, loss of appetite and lowered immunity. Besides, I think the strawberry-flavored medicinal ice cream named ReCharge which uses active ingredients from dairy products will become a favorite food in a short time because it’s delicious. By the way, it also helps people who difficultly eat food during the treatment because they can easily eat the ice cream instead of drinking 25 liters of milk. At last, I am convinced that this will be the prescription that most doctors prescribe.

::.. Essay ..::

Do you really want to take a cosmetic surgery 
because of yourself or the social value?


When the time passes by, people develop many things, everything is changed, including the moral value and social value. Many countries have taken the cultures from several countries, Thailand is also the one where has taken all those cultures without screening and no one has been aware that these would change Thai attitudes and cultures in the future. A beauty has become a social value and a standard measure to judge people by the size of their waist, the thinness, the straightness or their nose and even the thickness of their lips so it makes people pay attention on how they look like rather than what they are.
Nowadays, cosmetic surgery constantly increases over the past few years and becomes very popular as many women throughout the world are driven by TV program and advertisements to try to meet that standard measure of beauty. Therefore people try to change their clothing styles, their jewelry accessory and even their appearances which affects to the growth of cosmetic surgery. There are many reasons which lead to have cosmetic surgery. Firstly, many people have the cosmetic surgery to change their appearance by modifying the parts of their bodies that make them unsatisfied which brings down the self-esteem. Thus they think the cosmetic surgery can help them gain back the confidence that they have lost. Secondly, some people have the cosmetic surgery because they want to grab people’s attention to feel that they are accepted and existed in the society. Thirdly, some people have this to fit in because they are overweight, don’t feel confident and they also think that the thinness of shape is that people want. All of these reasons bring them more stress for their life.
However, there are many questions whether changing nature for fulfilling desires to have beautiful body and perfect features is really important or not and whether it is good or not to take a knife and chop up the face, to add bits and remove pieces to the body just to suit the liking. Nevertheless, there are many things to know about it before having these procedures, such as side-effect or the bad results they might get after having the cosmetic surgery so that they won’t regret if they have it.
To sum up, society must realize that cosmetic surgery will not change lives dramatically, only appearances as beauty means giving pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality. Therefore beauty is not really about having small face, being shapely or having straight nose, but rather the person as a whole, inside and out because Inner beauty is the most important thing which shines through to the world. The natural way they are is the best thing in this world.
