About oaths
Are Hypocrites? And
Citizen responsibility...


The actions of the corporatism
Medical associations.


It sometimes put in place
Groups who take and communicate
Certain positions, because
Of course there are always causalities,
Behind these decisions and who
Looks from the outside, often not available
Of the information in a comprehensive manner.

However, even though apelemos to understanding, there are situations that at least makes us wonder what goes through their heads?

The health sector has been during this administration, one of those who have received more attention (edilicias improvements, instruments and remuneration). Anyway, given that the starting point for these improvements was so low, surely not be achieved in one term of government ideally located in an area of vital importance to the population.

In that sense then, the present government initiated a series of measures to alleviate terms medicinskega, large gaps that suffered economically weaker segments of the population.

Needless to say, he encountered situations requiring urgent solutions. By way of example, is the agreement that was made with Cuba and Venezuela, to move and operate in sight to hundreds and hundreds of people who did not receive care in this country, and they are simply condemned to blindness, cause clearly solvable.

Meanwhile 4500 people waiting in the queue for treatment ...

Because all things have limits, because the Ministry of Public Health and negotiated the wait for a reasonable period of time, concluded the situation and felt that the hospital should begin its work, regardless of the decisions of doctors who had already been selected, but who refused to work in a corporate ...

Perhaps he wondered if doctors forgot who is the pocket of every Uruguayan which raises money so they can study for free at the University of the Republic.
He wondered also if it is morally right to take people hostage, in situations as cruel as blindness.
He wondered also where you got the Hippocratic oath that promised, when abused for personal benefit, those who paid their current welfare.

Because it is always good to watch the proceedings with a bit of projection, he added finally that the new health system foresees achieving a level playing field in health care for all Uruguayans. It is limiting in other words, "...
