Another great series MDA . Enjoyed Happys dogged wisdom profile ( The realist who cares ) Especially his line to the young fresh faced lad “ why don’t they understand about immunization – why don’t we go to the papers and give it to them straight about the risk ” circ 17dec
A ---They don’t want to be reasonable mate !”. Not the game there and …….
Not the game here either ……Out here in the bush either where risks and realities of interference are real too!.
The libs are out of touch and the interfererers are right to ask for big picture rather than more of the petty politics of twin ledger accountancy . Sound health care is not driven from behind by reactive paradigm of purchaser and provider - economic models of mismanagement and misapprehension more like it . Abbott--you need just one lateral thinker in Canberra .You have got too many yes men!

Can we please get some attention from ABC journalists to dig deeper into all the green quackery and make the same challenge on behalf of competent people in the bush who remain totally unrepresented .
After all there is no MDA for competent risk assessing surgeons of the environment who get cut down daily by the lumbering logomachy of the unencumbered and growing legal ( and often compliant media) and legislative machinery designed to “help” .
Help whom ? see

Best Intention is not enough . It not only cuts- its wounds
don't always heal and we just get waste !
Did you know that Don Quixote has found a friend?Together they form a formidable party . Quick draw McGraw and his many media friends are driving sound professional carers mad with their fast horse fanaticsm. The greatest evil can be done in the name of the best intention (B Shaw). Even Attenborough is concerned that our caring is out of balance with the real care balance issues ( Enough rope ABCTV 22nd september)
Caring in the real world where predation exists is no simple matter . So why care at all Is our idealism wrong ?
If guilt is driving us to act quickly too,…. that too is wrong?
Lets be practical and effective about this, because true caring is both of the former. Not one of us can care responsibly for more than a few things close to us . The effective tradition of caring in our culture ( one that maximizing choice and involvement , is one that takes the reality of suffering seriously , and seeks to redeem it by being responsible for the few things in our control. Read The Jericho road story by the real radical in our history.
