Turf War Brews Between Medical Schools

Jun 26
2011

Caribbean medical schools have long been decried as diploma mills for the rich and undeserving; they are strictly for-profit institutions serving American kids rejected by U.S. medical schools, yet they rely on hospitals in the U.S. to provide the necessary clinical experience in the third and fourth years of a medical education. Recently, however, an effort has begun in New York City to limit their access to local hospitals since there are only a certain number of spots available for such field work, and charges of elitism are flying. Yet how did foreign and domestic medical schools come to be competing for the same spots in domestic hospitals?

Because Caribbean medical schools are first and foremost businesses, they charge a lot of money to provide something of a second chance for students rejected by American medical schools. At an elite institution like Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, donors from investment banker Sanford I. Weill to real estate developer Isaac Toussie with all their money, resulting in tuition and fees of about forty-five thousand dollars a year. Compare that to the Caribbean ones, where it can cost up to sixty thousand dollars!

Now, due to such high fees, Caribbean medical schools can easily pay New York City hospitals to take on their students for the practical clinical experience required of an accredited medical education – ahead of Weill Cornell’s, or NYU’s, or that from any other New York medical school.

Thus the turf war.

Traditionally, hospitals agree to mentor, in effect, a medical school’s students because they like to be associated with prestigious names. Caribbean medicals schools have no brand name to offer, but they do have several tens of millions of dollars to pump into a hospital’s coffers, in effect paying for their students to be placed.

And what administrator is going to do without such money, especially in this economy?

Blu Ray Video Renews Old Problem for Adult Film Industry

It’s funny, but when DVD first came out, the adult film industry was complaining about how the increased resolution showed up performers’ physical flaws, such as pimples and the like – so what are they going to do now about Blu Ray Video, hmmmm??

It’s true that with a full resolution of 1440p, you can see skin pores even when the subjects are not close-up, as in ordinary head-shots. That’s right! High-definition resolutions won’t lie! And that means adult performers must use make-up if they have blemishes or any other imperfection they want to not show up on video!

But would fans really notice such little things anyway??

GSM Cell Phones Good and Bad

Jun 10
2011

When looking for GSM cell phones, get only one that will really be useful to you. Okay, so that’s not earth-shattering advice, but it bears repeating for you’d be surprised how many people fall prey to marketing hype and purchase handsets completely at odds with what best suits their actual real-world usage patterns. Ironically enough, perhapsit is the explosion of all thee different handsets that has lead to people making rather unwise purchasing decisions: known to our Gallic friends as embarass de riches. That is, the cornucopia of choices out there seem to confuse people more than anything else.

Those who study consumer psychology are familiar with this phenomenon. Whether it’s GSM cell phones or anything, really, people just have a harder time — and feel the attendant anxiety — when confronted (yes, “confronted!”) by too many choices. But while that may seem strange, it actually makes a certain sense, in the final analysis. Consider that about half of humanity — the half known as “guys” — hate to shop. Now why should this be? Basically, instant gratification. They want to “get it over with.” This is the predominant feeling even if the purchase to be made is a simple affair, no matter if it’s as innocuous as getting toiletries or running out for sundry supplies. So just think how much more aggravating it is when something as complex as electronics is involved!

To be sure, guys generally like technological gadgetry, since guys are typically enamored of toys to begin with. Guys like objects; they like controlling things. But modern technology offers a bewildering array of capabilities, with feature-sets that no one but true geeks and nerds would really like to spend time studying…guys or gals.

That’s not even to mention the other half of the human race known as “girls!” Ladies who typically enjoy shopping — except for when it comes to electronics and the like.

And so here’s a population of folks who are not jumping with joy when it comes to buying a cell phone. Is it any wonder, then, that they fall prey so easily to marketing hype? And so people may wind up with thingamajigs that not only do not help them, but may actually hinder their actual wireless communications needs!

So when in the market for a cell phone, a little introspection of sorts is in order. Just what is it that you wish to do with a handset in the first place? Do you really need all those features? Surf the web? Receive e-mail? If you absolutely need data capabilities, do you also have to have WiFi or would your carrier’s cellular network be enough?

Reviewing On Off Digital World Bargains

It’s obvious from looking at their window display that On Off Digital World is full of technological marvels, all the latest in consumer electronics today, though what really keeps them in business is catering to all the photographers with a well-stocked inventory of hard-to-find hardware. Located in almost right in the middle of Manhattan, they get a lot of foot traffic from all the tourists who flock to The Big Apple day in/day out. The bottom line is that out-of-towners are not going to spend their time shopping around, and will simply pay just about any price necessary in order to get on with their vacation.
