however many years ago...
there was a problem. on the one hand, you have to provide some level of health care to be a developed nation. on the other hand, the general practice doctors were not providing health care.
the government wouldn't / couldn't pay them enough. not sure what the story is around that. what fair pay would be, i mean to say. how much the administrators who were crying 'poor' were paying themselves vs how much they were offering the gp's...
anyway...
they managed to agree upon something whereby children under 14 years, i believe, could see a gp for free.
so that means parents don't have to pay for things like having their kids immunised. having hearing and vision checks. well baby checks. if their kid has a cold or a sore throat (rheumatic fever is a problem in these parts and the cause of it is untreated strep throat where generic antibiotics are an effective treatment)... mumps. measles. rubella... asthma... all of these things... free visits to the doctor.
and the problem is...
that EVEN WITH (or maybe precisely because of) free visits to the doctor... the doctors are going 'there feel better' and our rates of immunisations etc are really low. doctors say 'it's probably a virus nothing we can do go away' when kids are presenting with strep throat and often aren't even sending for labs... they aren't offering immunisations or encouraging them, etiher. apparently our rates of immunisations for infants are reall low (by who standards for supposedly developed nations) and the vaccines we have are thrown away out of expiry.
i mean to say... intentional withholding.
intentionally being withholding.
as in 'medicine and medical treatments are not for you' kinds of withholding.
apparently the GPs have a monopoloy, basically. since the government needs to contract for medical services the current GPs and their administration have all the power... strong union or whatever... not many of them, particularly.
the nz doctors are so obnoxious (so obnoxious so obnoxious) that their australiain counter-parts are quick to disown them. i mean to say where there used to be 'australasian' socieities of various things (including professional things like philosophy associations and so then conferences and so on) the nz groups splintered off then were no longer attended by the australians. so then you really had this small group of tyrants, effectively, with control of the situation in nz.
so the nz doctors are refusing to acknowledge foreign qualifications and also domesetic (when it suits them). they basically do whatever they want, quite unchecked. they simply refuse to enrol, graduate, acknowledge maaori. unless they are 'white maaori' who appear to be on board with the whole deprivation and abuse program. so that the medical studnets from harvard can come and see rheumatic fever in teh wild in teh natives of new zealand. untreated syphilis, too, i hear. both the sexual and non-sexual (skin) variety. effects in infants due to lack of STD screening and treatment due to lack of prenatal care and lack of accesss to birth control and lack kof access to a personal lock on their bedroom door and lack of access to justice and lack of access to education and lack of access to... lack of accesss to.. lack of.. deprivation...
so the nz systems aren't working for maaori. that is correct. when it comes to the UNDRIP. the systems arne' working for maaori.
but the systems also aren't working for non-maaori. that is correct, also. when it comes to the rights of people (who aren't maaori). i mean... nz just sh*ts all over the rights of the people. it doesn't think that it has people.
it treats the people like ants or cockroaches. really.
when it is time for them to pay them... it is time for them to go away...
that is the message loud and clear. to so many... that always was the thing about graduation...
they likely only sent me my first masters qualification because i was already started on my enrolment in australia. so they thought it wouldn't make any difference with respect to job. that's the only reason they give you your degree.
so you need to be, like, 'gee i don't know what i'm going to do when i finish my PhD. i think i'm going to just, like, go backpacking for a while and work part time picking fruit and making coffee and pouring alcohol'. and then they will go 'well okay, then, we will sign off on completion of your degree'.
i was supposed to be, like 'gee, i don't now. maybe i'll open a fish shop'.
people kept saying that thinking it was funny.
just indoctronation, i guess.
my mother really was a nasty piece of work. i actually think her intention was to write me out of the will. but she couldnt' do that without it being contested since i'm her daughter. but she intentionally hoarded the money for as long as she did (when she had cash she could have freed up earlier). and when i was applying to the US etc. she wasn't willing to contribute anything. was just hoarding it. did not support me in anything, really. at the end of hte day. i mean... i guess it was pathological for her. the hoarding of the money. i guess it was a pathological thing, really. it wasn't like she helped the other kids financially either, i guess. i guess that is true. it likely was a hoarding thing. she hoarded pretty much everything else and i suppose hoarding money was something that she did as well.
apparently she did load my brother money, though, so he didn't need a studnet loan to get his degree. which they gave him honorary after he died. lol.
