<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><span style="color:#00ff00;"><strong>JOURNÉES D'EXTERNAT 1 RESTANTES: 7</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p>Questionne, examine, écris, re-questionne, réexamine, réécris... La journée a été longue et plate. Je suis surpris d'avoir réussi à faire autant de sourires forcés entre 7:00 et 18:00. Ce matin, on a encore fait une tournée des patients à vitesse tortue incluant une petite réunion de révision des cas avec les patrons; ça a tellement pris de temps qu'on a fini de torcher l'étage à 11:00 !</p>
<p>Il n'y avait aucune salle d'op prévue aujourd'hui, alors une fois l'étage torché, le résident a pensé qu'il serait bien bon d'aller finir la seule et unique consult à l'urgence puis d'aller prendre un café et profiter du temps libre au salon des résidents... Hé ben merde, un de nos patrons était de garde, ce qui <em>de facto</em> signifiait que nous étions tous de garde pour les maudites consult de l'urgence. Et l'urgence a TOUJOURS des consult. En finissant la première, on en a reçu une deuxième. En commençant la deuxième, on en a eu une troisième. Au milieu de la troisième, une quatrième... Résultat: à peine une demi-heure pour dîner.</p>
<p>En début d'après-midi, on a eu une petite demi-heure d'une clinique externe aussi monotone que toutes les autres cliniques du genre: quelques nouveaux cas non-urgents et plein de suivis post-chirurgie. À 14:00 on a pu se sauver pour un cours sur les traumatismes abdominaux, mais quand le cours a fini, vers 15:30, surprise ! La clinique avait avancé à un tel rythme d'acanthaster paraplégique que malgré le petit nombre de rendez-vous (trois fois moins qu'en uro), il restait <em>encore</em> des patients à voir ! Alors j'ai encore fait du QEE, sur deux trucs plates: une plaie à vérifier 1 mois post chirurgie pour diverticulite, et trois minuscules cicatrices au cuir chevelu suite à des exérèses de kystes sébacés.</p>
<p>Encore et toujours aussi lente (parce que, il faut bien l'avouer, le patron était très lent et prenait le temps de <em>paaaaaaaaaarler</em> à chaque patient), la clinique externe n'a fini qu'à 17:00. J'avais franchement hâte de sortir de là, mais il fallait hélas réviser toutes les maudites consult de l'urgence ! Ça a pris une heure, et je suis enfin sorti de ce fichu HMR chaud et humide à 18:00, après avoir baîllé et m'être ennuyé toute la journée.</p>
<p>Je pensais initialement me jeter dans mon lit au plus sacrant, mais en arrivant à la maison j'ai trouvé mes parents dans la cour avec des amis. Ils prévoient un bon gros souper barbecue typique d'une belle soirée d'été, avec de l'esturgeon fumé en entrée... Vous me voyez venir: fuck l'horaire de chirurgie là, hein. Je vais profiter de ma soirée, prendre un bon souper, me tenir éveillé avec du café et du thé vert, écouter du Loreena McKennitt pour chasser de ma tête mon stage trop chronophage, et je ne me coucherai que quand la pleine Lune sera bien haute dans le ciel. Ben oui, je vais être amorphe et irritable demain... Mais ce n'est pas grave: j'entends Tempus qui fait "<em>tic, toc</em>": plus que 7 jours d'externat 1. :P</p>

<description><![CDATA[J&#8217;ai questionné, j&#8217;ai examiné, j&#8217;ai écrit&#8230; Quelle journée terrible, zér]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>J'ai questionné, j'ai examiné, j'ai écrit... Quelle journée terrible, zéro exposition à la salle d'op ou à la moindre technique ! Que des consult !</p>
<p>Figurez-vous que ma résidente était en congé de lendemain de garde. Comme il y avait une réunion de 7 à 8, et comme ensuite j'avais un cours entre 8 et 9 heures ce matin, je n'ai pas pu l'aider à faire la tournée avant qu'elle ne parte dormir. À mon retour du cours, j'avais une patiente à tourner et 3 "<em>revoir</em>" (des visites brèves à des patients déjà connus du service d'uro mais hospitalisés dans d'autres spécialités), et un congé à donner. Ça semble très peu - en fait, C'EST très peu - mais on dirait qu'aujourd'hui toutes mes tâches ont pris plus de temps que prévu...</p>
<p>Pour le congé, j'ai du appeler une patronne pour savoir quand elle voulait revoir le patient en externe et remplir un peu de paperasse. Ensuite j'ai vu la dernière patiente de la tournée: tadam ! Potassium en hausse de 0,5 en 24 heures, rendu à 5,9 malgré 2 doses de kayexalate. J'ai donc encore appelé la patronne pour pouvoir prescrire quelque chose en son nom (rappelez-vous, la résidente n'était pas là pour me contresigner), mais elle a décidé de <em>turfer</em> le problème à la néphro. J'ai <em>turfé</em>.</p>
<p>Ensuite j'ai mentionné à la patronne que j'irais faire quelques revoir; sa réponse: "<em>Non non, vas plutôt à la clinique externe, ça a priorité sur les revoir, c'est plus intéressant pour toi.</em>" D'accord, d'accord... Mais en route, le page s'est mis à vibrer: une nouvelle consult, qui avait priorité sur la clinique externe. Je suis donc allé faire la consultation à l'urgence, puis je suis revenu pour voir le patron qui se trouvait à la clinique; alors que j'attendais de l'intercepter, une nouvelle consult ! Encore ! Je monte donc en cardio voir un monsieur âgé qui, banalement, n'avait que du vitiligo sur le pénis. J'ai rassuré le patient et surtout sa femme, et je suis retourné chercher le patron à la clinique...</p>
<p>En clinique externe, l'infirmière m'a dit que le patron serait bientôt disponible car il ne lui restait que 2 patients à voir. J'ai donc attendu, mais apparemment il lui en restait plus car ça a pris un temps démesuré. Il a fini par venir avec moi réviser la consult à l'urgence (mais pas celle, trop simple, du vitiligo).</p>
<p>Alors j'ai enfin pu dîner ! J'ai profité de cette date spéciale pour donner à Louise Lemay son gros gâteau d'anniversaire, que quelques collègues ont testé et approuvé. :P</p>
<p>Après la joyeuse parenthèse du midi, retour à consult-world. Je suis allé à la clinique avertir que je ne serais pas disponible tout de suite car j'avais une consult à faire pour une colique néphrétique à l'urgence; on m'a dit d'aller en informer d'abord le patron de garde pour l'uro à l'urgence, qui était en cystoscopie à ce moment-là. Je suis donc allé le lui dire, mais alors que j'étais devant lui, le page a re-sonné: consult ! J'ai parlé tout haut en notant la raison de consultation: "<em>lithiase obstructive et hydronéphrose chez patiente avec rein unique</em>". Quand j'ai raccroché le téléphone, le patron m'a dévié de ma consult initiale en me disant que celle-là semblait plus importante et de la faire d'abord, puis ensuite faire l'autre si j'avais le temps avant mon cours de l'après-midi.</p>
<p>Je suis donc monté en gériatrie voir cette histoire de lithiase en pensant que ce serait classique, mais non: la lithiase n'obstruait en rien l'uretère, l'hydronéphrose était partielle, la patiente urinait malgré tout, et pourtant restait avec une bonne insuffisance rénale chronique investiguée depuis des mois par la néphro. Le rapport de scan était un peu difficile à comprendre tant il y avait d'éléments inhabituels. J'ai du y passer presque une heure, sur cette consult (en prenant bien le temps de regarder le scan, après tout il faut bien que je fasse des trucs que j'aime de temps en temps.) En fin de compte, le patron a révisé le tout en 2 minutes au téléphone et conclu (comme moi-même) qu'il n'y avait rien à faire sur le plan urologique pour cette patiente. Au moins, ça m'aura permis de croiser Pavlov puisqu'il est en gériatrie en ce moment...</p>
<p>Après cette consult, j'ai réalisé que c'était l'heure de mon long cours sur les douleurs anales. Enfin sauvé des consult et des revoir ! Sauvé du QEE ! Au lieu de continuer à questionner, examiner et paperasser, je suis allé voir des photos de culs malmenés par toutes sortes de pathologies, puis j'ai quitté l'hôpital rempli d'une fatigue écrasante. Vivement vendredi soir.</p>

Au cours d’une conférence de presse tenue à l’issue des trois jours de consultatio]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(Libnanews)</em></p>
<p><a href="http://mplbelgique.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/siniora_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-63 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://mplbelgique.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/siniora_1.jpg?w=180" alt="" width="84" height="114" /></a>Au cours d’une conférence de presse tenue à l’issue des trois jours de consultations dans le cadre de la formation du prochain gouvernement, le Premier ministre Fouad Siniora s'est déclaré optimiste à ce que le prochain cabinet gouvernemental reflète le consensus obtenu lors des accords de Doha, rappelant également la nécessité du respect des accords de Taëf et de la charte de coexistence interlibanaise. Siniora a cependant refusé à donner une date de l'annonce de la formation du prochain gouvernement.</p>
<p>Siniora se rendra prochainement chez le président de la République auquel il présentera le résultat de ces trois jours. Poursuivant la troisième journée de consultations, le nouveau Premier ministre a reçu plusieurs figures parlementaires <!--more-->venues lui faire part de leurs nominations en vue de former son prochain gouvernement.</p>
<p>Le député Bahij Tabbara, reçu par le premier ministre, indique ne pas être candidat à un poste ministériel et souligne que la formation du prochain cabinet et la répartition des quotas accordés à chaque partie ont été décidées dans le cadre de l'application des accords de Doha.</p>
<p>Le député conclut en déclarant que la formation du prochain gouvernement aura pour mission essentielle de rétablir l'unité nationale entre Libanais.</p>
<p>Le débuté Robert Ghanem a quant à lui souligné la nécessité de réconciliation globale interlibanaise, dans le cadre d'un gouvernement d'union nationale dont la mission essentielle sera d'entreprendre les réformes, citant notamment le cas de la loi électorale.</p>
<p>La députée Solange Gemayel a de son côté souligné la nécessité que les ministres reconnaissent la souveraineté et l'indépendance du Liban sans ingérence étrangère. Soulignant la nécessité d'appliquer les accords de Doha, elle déclare ne pas approuver l'esprit de cet accord, estimant notamment que les limites et circonscriptions décidées dans le volet de la loi électorale « souffriraient de quelques erreurs. »Elle conclut en réaffirmant son soutien à la coalition majoritaire du 14 mars.</p>
<p>Le député Oussama Saad s'est interrogé sur les solutions au mécontentement de la population notamment dans le domaine social et économique, et a indiqué que l'État libanais devrait offrir des droits sociaux comme le droit à l'éducation obligatoire et gratuite, une assurance-chômage, une assurance vieillesse et les garanties dans le système de santé pour réduire la fracture entre classes libanaises. Il a également appelé à l'application de la phase des accords de Taëf stipulant une laïcisation des institutions libanaises, avant de démentir tout contact avec les mouvements chiites au sujet d’une possible nomination dans le prochain gouvernement.</p>
<p>Le Premier ministre a ensuite reçu le député Pierre Daccache qui lui a souhaité le succès dans sa constitution du prochain gouvernement, signalant qu’il faudrait donner d’avantage d’importance à la présence de la femme au sein du prochain cabinet ministériel, avant de recevoir la député et ministre des affaires sociales Nayla Mouawad qui a appelé à une réconciliation nationale conforme aux accords de Doha, et de souligner les difficultés économiques et sociales auxquelles les Libanais font actuellement face. Le ministre des affaires sociales a également appelé au désarmement, sans toutefois nommer du Hezbollah, afin, dit-elle de réactiver les institutions de l'État, et d'appeler à la présence de personnalités chrétiennes de la majorité au sein du prochain gouvernement.</p>
<p>Le député Boutros Harb s'est déclaré, de son côté, prêt à assumer ses responsabilités en cas de nomination dans le prochain gouvernement. Le député Misbah el-Ahdab a également fait part de sa nomination dans le prochain cabinet ministériel en tant que représentant du bloc parlementaire tripolitain.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mr Gordon Brown’s recent speech was about climate change and as you would expect he tried to put a very positive emphasis on the government’s climate change policy. It is worth looking at the speech in detail so that we can fully measure the government’s climate change policy against a proper yardstick. I shall give you my views of yardsticks later in this post, but first let us look at the policy initiatives which Mr Brown claims are the right initiatives to solve climate change:-.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;"><!--more--></span></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The Green Hotline</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mr Brown announced a Green Hotline to advise people about carbon savings and efficiency. This was first reported to my knowledge (it may have been reported earlier) on 18<sup>th</sup> November 2007. I wrote about it in posts of 19<sup>th</sup> November 2007, 20<sup>th</sup> November 2007 and 21<sup>st</sup> February 2008. I am not impressed with the concept of a “Green Hotline”. It will waste money better spent on measures.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Plastic Bags</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mr Brown “seeks” to end the use of plastic bags in supermarkets and shops. This is quite an old chestnut. I wrote about this on 14<sup>th</sup> and 19<sup>th</sup> November 2007, 1<sup>st</sup>, 13<sup>th</sup> and 24<sup>th</sup> March 2008 3rs April 2008 and 5<sup>th</sup> May 2008. This is not a policy but simply a talking point and I shall not be surprised if we are still talking about it in a year from now. Mr Brown will convene a forum of supermarkets to discuss plastic bags. Now we know who runs our country’s plastic bag policy.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Targets</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mr Brown said the UK's emission target of a 60% cut by 2050 could be increased to 80%. I have written many posts about targets; if you want to read them all just put “targets” in the search engine on the post. You can have all the targets that you want – they are easy to devise and hard to fulfil. Measures, not targets, will make a difference to climate change.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">We have had a statutory “fuel poverty” target for many years, and we have failed to achieve the target. What remedy is available for the fuel poor? A judicial review! Probably embarrassing for the government but hardly something that a fuel poor person can use to fight off the cold.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Energy Efficiency</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">There will be more help – but it has already been announced. Energy efficiency is virtually the government’s sole carbon reduction policy for homes which account for around a quarter of the UK’s emissions. In this context the policy means loft and cavity wall insulation which saves energy and are important but should not be the sole tool of a home energy policy.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The UK a World Leader in building a low carbon economy</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">This was probably the best joke in the whole speech. Genersys has businesses in many countries and I have knowledge of the policies affecting our product – solar thermal technology around the world. In my view the UK government has the least support, the least confidence and the greatest hostility to using free benign light to provide heat. At the moment we do lead the world in one thing connected with climate change – consultations. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Tough decisions</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Once again the Government talked about making tough decisions; these are the tough decisions that they have made – a Green Hotline, perhaps no more plastic bags if the supermarkets agree, targets which are unenforceable and home insulation. My posts of 19<sup>th</sup> November, 27<sup>th</sup> December and 9<sup>th</sup> January 2008 all suggest that Mr Brown is not making the hard, tough decisions. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The Yardstick</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I am not a religious person but I was once told by one when we were discussing morality that there is no universal yardstick. Every person is measured by his own personal yardstick. It gave me pause. I had to agree. An intelligent person of principles is judged by his own qualities, not those of an unprincipled idiot. There is no measure against which we can judge Mr Brown but his own.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I do have the sense that Mr Brown is in politics because he cares and because he desires to right what he perceives to be injustice and wrongs. I think that most politicians are in politics for the same reason.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Mr Brown recognises that the Western world have created the problem of climate change by its greedy and uncontrolled consumption of fossil fuel. In fact the United Kingdom has been responsible for more emissions over the past 250 years than any other nation, due to its early and intensive industrial revolution. Mr Brown will not make the hard decisions about climate change becasue put simply these involve sacrifice now for future benefit. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">And therefore when you put him up against his own personal yardstick, he fails to measure up.</span></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hate.</p>
<p>Oh well.   Let's see.   First, they specifically told me to be there 15 minutes before my 9a.m. appointment and I walk into an office full of people but the receptionist desk window is closed and there is no office staff around.   There is also a sign in sheet and no pen.</p>
<p>Some time after 9, they open up, put out pens, etc.   and then they start with the "oh you missed a place on this form" stuff.  No, I didn't.   But I don't want to rant about forms here.   Right now the deal is, if I sign all your stupid forms, that is a clear sign that I am not planning to come back.    For example (so much for not ranting) - this one had a version of the form where you check all the boxes for conditions you and your family have had.   At the end there were three lines.   Line one is your agreement to assign any insurance proceeds to the doctor.   Line two is permission to disclose your private information.  Line three says everything you have checked off is true to the best of your knowledge and there is a signature block.</p>
<p>So, basically, the way the form is designed, you can't agree that what you wrote is true without granting permission for them to disclose your private information.    So, if I cared, if there was any chance I was actually going to use this guy, I would have crossed out at least part two.   I don't care as much about part one  because there isn't going to be any insurance and he would only get that part of the insurance he was entitled to anyway because the law is good at figuring out who owes who money.   But I shouldn't have to grant permission to disclose my personal information on this form -- that permission should be on a separate, revocable form.    They did the same stupid thing with the line of the arbitration form that they don't need signed.   I'm sorry, but I am just enforcing that one on the grounds that if everyone in the office is too stupid to understand the point, I don't want them cutting on me.   The point is - the form has a place at the bottom to sign and agree to be coerced by necessity to give up your rights to use the justice system in favor of arbitration.   However, there is another line part way down that says if you want the form to apply retroactively to services received before the date you signed below, you should sign there.   Obviously if this is your first time in the office and you just signed and dated the form as of that day before you have received any services, there are no services received before that time and there is absolutely no need to sign that line.   The point of that line is to confuse you into making any services they accidentally provided before they remembered to get you to sign the non-negotiable contract of adhesion to fall under the arbitration restriction, and there aren't any, so they don't need it.   Seriously, if you cannot understand that, you cannot operate on me.   Okay?</p>
<p>I hate mandatory arbitration provisions.   I like arbitration.   If they made us sign a form that said we agreed to arbitrate first, before filing suit, I would have no problem with this.   But to make health care services dependent on giving up your legal rights is just wrong. </p>
<p>Um, plus the guy is a jerk.   He took one look at me and went into "anything I do will make such a big improvement in your horrible body that it's not worth it to talk about actually going the extra mile to make you look good".    Forget about that.</p>
<p>Grand total:  7 consultations, 3 absolutely eliminated, 4 maybes, of which one is the leader.   I really think I'm done.   And yet, I want to call LoMonaco's office and see about flying to Houston...  maybe I just want to go out of town?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>News today in the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/may/31/fivebest.summerevents" target="_blank">Guardian</a> of a festival of social gaming in London. Festival director Alex Fleetwood was part of Hide and Seek in 2007.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/FMz7WA01aC4'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/FMz7WA01aC4&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>The programme has <a href="http://www.hideandseekfest.co.uk/games/sandpit5psychobuildings" target="_blank">collaborative games of hide and seek</a>, a project to transform <a href="http://www.hideandseekfest.co.uk/games/londonastokyo" target="_blank">London into Tokyo</a> using bullhorns and tour guides and a <a href="http://www.hideandseekfest.co.uk/games/mpt" target="_blank">flash mob game</a> asking participants to gather on the 28th of June at 6:07:08pm and 'freeze'. What happens next is anybodies guess.</p>
<p>There is also a competition to run your own <a href="http://www.hideandseekfest.co.uk/competition" target="_blank">game</a> at the Hayward Gallery on the 29th of June. It might be a stretch but I'm sure it's possible to turn an online <a href="http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/playspace/?pro=playspace&#38;type=bannerad" target="_blank">consultation exercise</a> into a physical game that would be engaging, fun and produce results. Wanna play?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>My birthday isn't until the end of next month, but someone is getting an early start on their shopping...</p>
<p>The other day I received a "card" from the last PS I consulted with, Dr. Livingston, which says:</p>
<p>     "In honor of your Birthday, Dr. Livingston would like to extend to you a special price of $10 per unit for BOTOX Cosmetic (Regularly $13 per unit)"</p>
<p>Um, thanks.  </p>
<p>I'm wondering a few things, like - do they send these to all their patients?  The burn victims, the mastectomy survivors, the teenagers who just got a nose job?   Cause I came in for post-weight-loss plastic surgery, not botox shots and I specifically said that I was not interested in any facial work until after everything else was done.</p>
<p>I'm also wondering - how many units of botox do you need at one time?   Is Dr. Livingston giving me a $3 gift, or a $30 gift?</p>
<p>This latest tackiness just confirms my original opinion that I would not let him cut on me if he were the last plastic surgeon in Newport Beach (i.e. after The Apocalypse).</p>
<p>But hey - anyone with a birthday in June who wants discount Botox shots - email me and I'll give you the card.   Offer expires 30 days after your Birthday month.</p>
<p>p.s. Dr. Livingston,  "birthday" is not normally capitalized in the middle of a sentence.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like lists. I've done lists since a child. I use to do my own top 10 of songs each week and then do a personal kind of Top of the Pops of Ian's favourite songs. Kylie Minogue was number one a lot. </p>
<p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d3/KylieLuckyCover2.jpg/180px-KylieLuckyCover2.jpg" alt="I should be so lucky" /><img src="http://i15.ebayimg.com/03/c/01/a3/59/3b_8.JPG" alt="Kylie Minogue" /><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/53/Pwls11gecd.jpg/200px-Pwls11gecd.jpg" alt="Step back in time" /> </p>
<p>Er, anyhow, with lists in mind, I thought I'd do a list of five ways in which you can help support NDCS campaigns and and fight to create a world without barriers for deaf children too. </p>
<p>1) <strong>Write to your MP.</strong> MPs are there to serve their constituents and can be very responsive to your concerns (they won't get re-elected if they don't!). And if there are a large number of MPs concerned about a particular issue, the more a Government is likely to take notice, and take action. </p>
<p>We're currently asking our members to <a href="http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=19&#38;ea.campaign.id=47">write to their MP about educational under achievement of deaf children</a>. Our website makes it easy for you to do this - just write in your details, and we can work out who your MP is and prepare a draft message that you can check out and send to your MP. </p>
<p>2) <strong>Complete our short surveys. </strong>You're probably bombarded with people wanting to hear your views. But when we do it, its because having lots of data on what parents of deaf children think can be invaluable in getting MPs and Ministers to see the scale of the challenges that deaf children face. With the data from our <a href="http://www.ndcs.org.uk/about_us/campaigns/tv_accessibility/access_tv_survey.html">short survey on accessible TV for deaf children</a>, we're going to lobby Government Ministers and broadcasters to improve the quantity and quality of subtitles and push for more deaf role models on TV. </p>
<p>3) <strong>Tell us your stories. </strong>Nothing brings a campaign to life more than hearing the real-life experiences of a family and a deaf child that have been affected by a particular issue. That's why we're always looking for families to tell us their stories and be a case study. We will never use your experiences unless you have given us explicit permission to do so. Send an email to my colleague Pippa McIntyre at philippa.mcintyre@ndcs.org.uk if you're interested in helping us. </p>
<p>4) <strong>Respond to Government consultations.</strong>  From time to time, Governments from across the UK will ask for views from the general public. Responding to these can be a great way of ensuring that Government policy takes into account the needs of deaf children. An opportunity has just come up with a call for evidence issued on <a href="http://www.ndcs.org.uk/about_us/campaigns/emotional_wellbeing/index.html">child and adolescent mental health services </a>(CAMHS). </p>
<p>5) <strong>Sign a petition.</strong> But gone are the days of signing a piece of paper on a dusty clip-board. You can now sign petitions online - and you can even sign petitions on the Downing Street website. In fact, there's a petition online right now that encourages the Government to fully <a href="http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/noreservations/">ratify a UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities. </a></p>
<p>These are just five ideas to get you going. The <a href="http://www.ndcs.org.uk/campaigns">campaigns section of our website </a>lists all of the current campaigns that NDCS are running, with an up to date list of all the ways that you can support our campaigns. If there are any other campaigns you think we should be running, let us know. It'd be great to hear your thoughts.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://noirsreflets.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/colors1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11" src="http://noirsreflets.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/colors1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>A l'heure où l'on pointe du doigt l'Islam et la condition de leurs femmes, il serait bon de regarder chez nous ce qu'il se passe. En France il est plus dangereux de vivre en couple que de se balader la nuit dans une cité chaude en affichant un billet de 500 €. Vous pensez que je plaisante ?</p>
<p><strong>Quelques chiffres Français :</strong></p>
<p>- Une femme meurt tous les 3 jours sous les coups de son compagnon.<br />
- Un homme meurt tous les 13 jours tué par sa compagne, la moitié de ces meurtrières ayant auparavant subi la violence du conjoint décédé.<br />
- chaque année, 500 000 femmes sont agressées physiquement par leur partenaire.<br />
- Dans 70 % des cas, les enfants sont présents quand leur père bat leur mère.<br />
- 400 millions d'euros partent en frais médicaux ( hospitalisations, consultations, consommation de psychotropes ).<br />
- 232 millions en frais de justice ( traitement pénal et incarcérations ).<br />
- 90 millions en frais de logement et prestations sociales ( hébergements d'urgence, lieux d'écoute, aides personnelles au logement ).<br />
- 80 millions en perte de revenus.<br />
- 305 millions de « coûts humains » ( les handicapés et les morts ).</p>
<p><strong>Quelques faits juridiques :</strong></p>
<p>- Depuis 1990, le viol entre époux est reconnu.<br />
- En 1994, les violences conjugales font leur entrée dans le Code pénal.<br />
- En 2000, une nouvelle loi durcit les peines.<br />
- En 2005, une loi a été votée qui prévoit l'éviction du conjoint violent du domicile familial (homme ou femme).<br />
- En 2006, toutes les dispositions existantes sont étendues aux « ex » ( conjoints, concubins, pacsés ).</p>
<p>- Pour une infraction qui n'a pas entraîné d'interruption temporaire de travail ( ITT ) chez la victime, l'agresseur risque une contravention.<br />
- Pour une ITT inférieure à 8 jours, il encourt jusqu'à trois ans de prison.<br />
- Pour une ITT de plus de 8 jours, cinq ans.</p>
<p>Alors finalement, ne serait-on que des animaux ayant la capacité de construire ? Car même si on fait des avions et des buildings, psychologiquement on se rapproche plus d'un singe vindicatif que de l'Humain exalté dont nous abreuve les philosophes et les religions...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I did get estimates.   I will post later.</p>
<p>This one not only won't do a lower body lift at one time, he doesn't even want to do the thigh/buttocks lift portion at all.   This is the "I'm not worth it" thing.   So at least I have lots of clear individual quotes for separate procedures.  His prices are on the low-average side for this area, I believe.   I'll see when I add him to the chart.</p>
<p>He'll be Dr. Death.   Or, um Dr. Dolittle.    Or Dr. Jeckle.   Or Dr. Pain.</p>
