to brown-nose all day?
to turn a blind eye to all the things that aren't supposed to happen.
that happen routinely, as a matter of course.
to see all the people in the OR who aren't supposed to be there.
to see all the people in the OR actually performing operations.
to see all the things on the tray at the start of the operation.
to see all the things on the tray at the end of the operation.
to see the surgeon as god.
whatever they do is fine just fine.
to smile all day. to keep them happy all day. to yes sir and no sir and anything you say all day because...
becase...
because, because because because because...
because of the wonderful things he does?
why, no.
because otherwise he will never sign you off.
he'll say you are incompetent. yell at you. scream at you. malalign your reputation.
it's about brown-nosing.
being the head honcho, the top dog, is about just how badly you can treat the students. it about just how long you can keep them hanging on hanging on hanging about... while treating them like garbage (the worst atrocities you commit are your greatest trophies!) while refusing to sign them off (how long has that student been hanging about you waiting for you to sign them off? 10 years? 15? 20?)
that's the system.
and the solution is obvious:
you don't get to decide.
you -- with so much to gain from treating them like garbage and refusing to sign them off -- you don't get to decide.
that's why objective externals get to decide.
that's why you get to be objective external to someone else.
*everything* has been invested here in hijacking / disrupting / corrupting objective external examination.
nobody in their right mind would consent to operations if they knew the conditions people were operating under.
and so now they are super-invested in stomping out whatever freedoms people might have, too.
things are very very very oppressed here. corrupted and oppressed.
because there is no balance of power. becuase the people with the power don't want to work towards more balanced systems.
they grub grub grubbity grub grub ruin it for us all.

the standard regular books for the medical lisencing examination are not in our university medical library.
some of the books are kept in desk reserve. physically behind the desk. you can read them for 2 hours only. they say it is because they are high demand. i have never seen anybody ask to read a 'high demand' books, however. it is a way of keeping the books off the shelves. hidden. hiding information. obscuring it.
i remember asking them for a book that was on the reading list for the Australiasian Surgery exam. they only had it in storage and I could only read it for 2 hours. i asked them why it was kept hidden away. 3 copies of it. off the shelves and hidden away.
they don't want people in NZ knowing what is considered 'best practice' in the US, in NZ.
they will say it is about the money. we don't have enough money. we don't have enough of the equipment. we don't have enough venitillators. we can't afford them. we don't have those medications. we can't get access to those medications.
we won't let our students learn the information so that they understand the medications. what they likely do, what they will likely interact with, how they likely work. we won't let our students in on information about how to put forward patients as candidates for overseas medical trials.
we just say 'nonononono no treatment! no medical care for our people! stop it! they can't have any! nothing for them!'
it's all about the money for the senior officials. everything for them. nothing for anybody else. it's all about them. all about you, senior official goochy goochie goo. all about you. all the money, all the kudos, all the power, too.
you look at the king of tonga etc and see how he keeps his people living in the slums. so he can cry cry cry cry cry for 2 million dollar hostage handouts to go to 'research' on how he can help his poor people suffering from global warming.
what does he do with the money?
that's why they gave you the money. to see what you will do with it. to see if you can invest it. to see if there is any point giving you any more money. to see if they can say that to an international tribunal. 'did he just need some money to help his people'?
'no. we gave him money to help his people. to help his poor people living in slums. and he chose to spend that money upgrading his palace and creating high paying jobs to friends and family who brownnose to him all day while producing nothing'.
or while stealing from the work of the people in the slums.
'who is going to stop us?'
not sure. it's about getting the people out and away, really. into things.
otherwise it is like playing whack-a-mole. everytime you depose one another one, just as bad rises up. they are right about that.
what are they going to do about it?
did they contract that out?
did they offer scholarships to people capable of figurin gthat out?
did they fail the people and steal their stuff?
people were all 'if you get to do medicine then yo uwon't see us anymore'
they committed to that.
i need to not see them anymore to do it for sure. because they won't let me. not if they can get away with it.
they would rather me drown alongside them.
that's what they want most of all.
_______
we will see how the commuity spread goes in NZ.
many many people in NZ don't have a will to live...
but physical health can be something else.
often suicide takes great physical strength.
i wonder if suicide will go down as coronavirus deaths go up.
mostly...
_______
mostly i wonder about deaths of all causes.
are deaths of all causes up?
or are we simply re-classifying deaths as being due to corona?
i mean, people used to die of regular flu and people used to die of tuberculosis and people used to die of lung cancer and other kinds of respiratory disease.
i wonder if respiratory disease deaths are actually up becuase of ADDITIONAL cases of coronavirus or if we are re-classifying an epidemic.
why?
because of global economic policy.
because of the migration of people.
because so many people want to get away from tehir oppressors.
because most of the governments around the world are doing a truly f*ck*ng horrible job of governing.
because corruption is worse and worse.
because democracy is failing.
because the public systems are falling apart.
in England. They are shouting that from the rooftops.
Trying to curb the flood of migration across Europe.
Good people can't function

Because none of the people do the things that they are supposed to do.
Everybody cries 'the rules don't apply to me! I just do whatever I want whenever I want and who is going to stop me!'
And it's not civilisation.
And it's not development.
It's just a bunch of school-yard bullies stealing candy from babies whenever they can get away with it.
It's just a rabble and a swamp.
And the world bank or whomever can try and invest in NZ to help the food get to the ports or whatever but that doesn't change the fundamental situation.
People don't work collaboratively.
There is no 'we'.
There is no group.
There are only individuals exploiting things for their own ends.
There is no grasp of collectiveness. Collective intentionality. There is no working for sustainability of sometthing greater than oneself.
There is only simple addition across or over numbers of people. There is only populations.
There is no notion or concept of a person. There is no notion or concept of informed consent. There is no information 'yes dear anything you say dear everything is just as you believe it to be dear' there is no consent 'why of course dear everything will always be the way you want it to be'
(make us)
Of course if they bully you into going away they win.
THey keep all the stuff.
THey think they are so *clever* for holding back development.
It's *ingeneous*. Never have I seen people invest so much in making things as bad as they possibly can for so very many.

and that's why they want to train their kids.
they want to 'show them how it's done'.
they want the kids being all wide-eyed and people-pleasing.
they want the kids paying attention to them. hanging off their every word. taking their words as gospel.
brown-nosing to them. to make their lives nicer / better. kids always smiling and happy to help. happy to work overtime or whatever. cheerful facade, always. falling over each other to help.
what's the alternative? kids less happy to help. less helpful. kids more focused on books / studying for exams. kids asking questions. maybe uncomfortable ones about why we do things this way rather than that. kids suggesting ways perhaps that we could actually do things according to best practice without it actually being more expensive...
and they don't want that.
they aren't interested in the development of medicine for the good of the pateints.
they are interested in themselves. they would rather have brown-nosing sycophants. they would rather have control over keeping those kids close to them.
the district health boards are happy enough that kids don't get signed off on. they don't have to pay them pay increases. they don't have to acknowledge the things they are doing routinely and reliably in the hospitals.
they can spend that money on pay increases for themselves. boards of direectors. administrators. for all the work dthey do. squabbling about everything except the fact that they need another pay increase for themselves.
like the king of tonga. more money! more money! not enough money for doctors and medical supplies and nurses and cleaners!
only money for students to do all of the work and pay us money for their training!
while we refuse to sign them off.
