[ TUNING ] : If AIR TRAVEL WORKED : "LIKE HEALTH CARE"

If Air Travel Worked 

Like Healthcare

________________________________________________

This Satire, takes a pun on America's Healthcare System, which is infamously known for its biggest Legal Hurdle, which stifles Innovation and creates huge hassles for the entire System, especially Patients. Do make it a point to Read more about HIPPA.

HITECH journey

Health Information Technology for Economy and Clinical Health Act

_______________________________________________

If one gets time, they should at-least go by and read HITECH on Wikipedia. The core of the act, "Nationwide Network of Electronic Health Record". It sounds like Patients health records will be available to the next doctor, without much effort. This sounds like freedom for Patients, who will not bound to Network of Provider compensated by their Insurance companies. But is it ??

There are more than 350 companies also known as vendors in the business of  Prepacked Solution. Their solution have talk to another solution or may not. That is why professional groups are pushing for HL7 and DICOM standardization. Where the purpose of these Non-Profits are to develop Standards, followed by rolling out Accreditation to companies using those standards, thus the solution then maybe Inter-operable.

This was just a glimpse of activities going on, since a long time, but with Obamacare have got a center-stage and importance. Currently in India, may Information Technologist are pushing for solutions, which they consider are ideal for a Healthcare situation, but upon deeper investigation one sees that they are not serving the function at all, or even if they do, they are not designed to talk. Emergence of L&T 1,600 Crore and World Bank scam, points out to a deeper problem, of "Immorality" in "National Financing Markets". Where corrupt Governments like India borrow Loans from their American Loan Shark, for a Loan awarded to "Corporate", also known as, Sharks close associate or cousins. Who not only provides a Solution that has not considered the needs of Grassroots, but also create a Huge National Debt, with Swiss Banks bustling and American Wall Street dancing.

An American Academicians Style

_______________________________________________

Indeed American Academia, has a style. For in former times, when idea of America was taking shape, many of its ideologies came from the Old world, despite that they called themselves to be a New world. American Academia, over past 150 years have indeed made huge strides, and it was through these Institutions, Industrialized America's growth was being fueled. Today they have become just another Corporation, which is in the business of Education. Which is nothing but a global phenomenon of Greed, and Pyramid schemes.

_______________________________________________

The practice of "Grand Rounds" is performed, to help share knowledge amongst the peer. This phenomenon is often lacking or non existent in Indian Academia, which makes me wonder are the Faculties in India physically lazy or simply put intellectually corrupt. This is a question, that desperately needs answers, if India wishes to inspire its youth, to address the socio-economico-environmental challenges, India faces.

Introduction to Ankit

Introduction to Ankit 

_______________________________________________

Ankit was born in India, but his family had destined his future to be America. Though his friends knew him well, they too considered he was best suited to be there. But Ankit was determined from the beginning, of serving where the need is, rather than serving his life for his own sensorial deeds. It was Swami Vivekananda's speech delivered at Los Angeles, about "Work and it Secret" that kept him motivated towards pursuit of meaning, in his life.

I met Harold, for the first time at his Office on 2024 Monument street, talking to Harold one gets a feeling he is indeed a "deep thinker" as myself, also very smart and honest, like every Jewish Academicians, I met. Indeed there is some magic taking place at Synagogue, that churns out such smart people like himself. Indeed every faith has something to offer for us to learn, and so did my Jewish professor. Whom I dearly respect, but unfortunately, he is still a "Yankee Coward" for me.  

In our first meeting, I displayed some of my earlier work using Blogger, and the concept around it, this did impress him and he wanted to see something I do using the same. So I did, and here it is. Thanks for the Advice Harold, and as you use to say during our Seminars. 

"Hopkins can lose its donors, but cannot lose its Reputation"

Has kept me motivated, thinking what is Reputation, is it real, or just an illusion, just like the myth of "American Dream". Who am I to tell, all I can say, it was a Nightmare for me, as I understood the very extravagance, pompous display of Johns Hopkins University, was happening at cost of Thousands of Students just like me.

Meeting : Lehmann “Brothers”??

Meeting : Lehmann "Brothers"??

It was in the year 2008, America's Biggest Financial bubble burst, when the Sub prime Mortgage crisis took down, one of the biggest and most powerful Financial Firm Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Bursting of this  bubble, surfaced the lapses of the current financial systems, which have Institutionalized their processes to serve the Interest of their Stockholders, Investors, over its traditional position of an institution. With lofty compensations for their Executives, reflect underlying systemic problem of American Greed : which the author in his book described as abuse, overindulgence, and irresponsibility.

_______________________________________________

With Student Debt in America reaching more than One Trillion dollars, is it another Financial Bubble about to break. Well I am too small to see that coming, but surely wise enough to know, that Academia is about to be Disrupted. This idea stems from reading "Economics of Knowledge", which explains how does Knowledge work and also another book that strongly influences these ideas are "Innovative University", which helps one understand the Paradigm - Shift taking place, with constantly changing Information Communication Technology landscape. Unfortunately, many primitive universities, such as Johns Hopkins, have heavily invested in its physical infrastructure, especially for its Administrative affairs, that it has lost site of reality.

It is the "disillusion" of its prestige that attracts many Indian, Chinese, Nigerians, Philippine students to this campus, has got me further annoyed. But more than that the handicapped faculties of contemporary times, frustrates me to see how President Gilliam of former times, whose words have been forgotten by all. His Twelve points instead of being cherished, and used for philosophical discourse, had been sidelined by lame governors, who have very expensive bureaucracy to manage. By sucking resources from the world.

He is a Poet Rap Star from B'more performing at a "Lyric Cafe", he is bound to touch your heart. I hope KOMPLEX has Brothers of Another Mother, on the continent of Afrikanas in His View.. Where half of the world is dying.. where every day.. parents are "coughing".. real "wheezy cough".. where children have no body of family and friends, who never told them love for them can never end..

KOMPLEX is very deep and thoughtful Poet, some of his Poems attempts to inspire, give hope to everyday Black youths. The subtleness with which he does this is very touching. So if you get an opportunity to see him perform live, then do go for it. Great Going KOMPLEX, I hope that your body of family and friends grows to Millions, some day I hope you can en cash the "Million Dollar Check" you once wrote.
