I see the birth of this idea into a reality to be sooner than later.
It will be good for many people who have diabetes and whose kidneys have failed. It will save them a fortune. I hope this idea spreads. But this will be a disruptive social enterprise

Indian Hospital Revisited from Al Jazeera
From Al Jazeera - Indian Hospital Revisited
Al Jazeera's series on Indian hospital has been most informative with regards to health care and modern affordable hospital care.
There are episodes featured here this week regarding:
1. Dr. Rolson Sandeep who had two important patients: Rejeshawani Madival, who was operated on her lock jaw. The operation gave Rejeshawari new outlook in life, and improved her grades. Dr. Rolson had to intervene in the family's desire to have her stop schooling and have her get married. Dr Rolson visited his patient, Rejeshawani who lives 500 km away from Bengalore. He prevailed upon her parents to let her continue studying and probably become a bank manager.
This gives new meaning to the address "Sir Doc" Rejeshwari considers Dr. Rolson to be God.
2. Dr. Rolson has another patient, and he considers having such patient a good "Karma", Baby Dhayan who has such gross face abnormality. It is not just harelip problem, there is a big space between her eyes where the nose should be. Dr. Rolson has never done anything like this. And he is doing a painstaking study on how to do this.

How do you serve God? Who gets well and who dies in an operation?
Rizal | Philippines | March 6, 2014
I am getting a lot of inquiries, assistance on building and running a hospital and administrators who have turned around failing hospitals. As professor of MBAH, I am involved in teaching MBA MDs who run hospital in graduate school of business. It is a tiring job, as one gets old.
But watching the Indian Hospital series of AJ, I am inspired. The idea of having low cost hospitals serving the masses is keeping me challenged.
Consider this:
According to Mother Teresa, who was operated on by Dr. Shetty:

Patientss from around the world, including from USA are flocking to Dr. Shetty's hospital in India. And they are paying patients and which are good for cash flow and financial health of his hospital. Why? There is so much publicity and they are captured in media and at internet.
Patients are attracted by low cost and so much skills gained from operating 30 patients a day. The MDs at the hospital are seen as more expert in what they are doing from sheer quantity of operations

Angono, Rizal | Philippines | March 6, 2014
There will be shortage of doctors and health workers in the coming year. Who sees 4 million shortage. Dr. Shetty sees this to be double.
Training/education of MDs is a lucrative business. MDs position in a hospital is bidded out. And could be as high as $500,000.00. Dr. Shetty is against these. He believes that MDs like, artists should be allowed to practice their trade without restriction.
Dr. Shetty sees that training of cardio thoracic surgeon can bypass traditional general surgery training. He does starts with a core group starting with his son and 5 others

Colonoscopy Crisis: Why are These Doctors Canceling Them?
From Micozzi video/files
Colonoscopy is considereably cheaper in the Philippines where it costs P25t to P40t. It is supposed for everyone over 50 yearly help control colorectal cancer that cause 30% of all deaths from cancer Yet some doctors are cancelling them. Why?
There is no data yet that supports that colonscopy save anyone from colon cancer. What is the main reason? Its the 6t to 10t cost. It is a $10 billion business (Yet it only costs several hundred dollars in Europe.) There are many risks attributed to colonoscopy: bleeding, lacerations, infection from contaminated colonscopy equipment and even death

Institute of Medicine (originally founded by Abraham Lincoln is to be headed by Victor Dzau whose picture of pharma is that of govt, academe, private (pharma) partnership. As an NGO, it is supposed to have noble goal of independent research on health for both private and govt sector. Dr. Mercola sees huge conflict of interest coming into play. They say Victor Dzau became a millionaire because of his big pharma/corporate alliances
Dr. Offit, a member of IOM is alleged to have similar conflict of interest; being in the pocket of Merck to develop a rotovirus vaccine.
