Patients Without Borders Interview on The Economic Report with Greg Gumble. A discussion about Medical Tourism and Medical Travel options available for patients and employers in the US.
Syed Hamid introduces bulk flip flops in Malaysia. These bulk flip flops are entirely man made by through Malaysians who are handpicked under something called the ISA.
Taiping is the holy grail for bridal flip flops.
The ISA course will teach you in 60 days how to make the best flip flops in bulk.
But very good students don’t have to endure the whole 60 days: they can get straight away promoted by Syed Hamid to get an exclusive 2 year ISA flip flops contract based in the town that’s famous for all Malaysian bulk flip flops: Taiping.
It’s not easy to succeed in the bulk flip flops course. And it seems men are better in making flip flops than woman. Just recently 3 new students were enrolled in the new course and were tested to produce their first pair of yellow box flip flops.
Yellow box flip flops : more difficult than you think…
Of the 3 new students, 1 couldn’t even bare to finish 24 hours. She is now back at her old job reporting for the Chinese newspaper, and she says she is very happy with it.
The second student, a more mature woman lasted a few days longer in the ISA course. But after a few days it was clear she had done nothing, so she got kicked out without further reason given.
There is only 1 student still standing: Raja Petra: the voice of Malaysia. We all know raja Petra very well. He is the kind of person when he sets his mind on something, he just doesn’t let go and will make sure he succeeds.
What doesn’t feel better than looking at flip flop drink coasters to remind you on your last holiday in Malaysia?
Isn’t it great to be able to visit a country were all races live in perfect harmony without having to look further what’s happening underneath?
Now don’t start pointing your finger here, lots of "older" democracies have done similar things than what is happening now in Malaysia: a majority party sooner or later will loose its majority. And this change will make bursts and boozes that aren’t something to be proud of later on.
Just compare to US where president Kennedy got shot, Martin Luther King got shot and even President Reagan took a bullet, it’s all clear that politics is not something for the faint hearted… Nothing to be proud of either…
Just follow Syed Hamid’s ISA flip flops history from the last few days:
Syed Hamid claims that it is not his decision to issue the ISA but the government.
… Now Syed Hamid being Home Minister, makes him part of the government, isn’t it?
3 days later a flip flop:
Syed Hamid says that the arrest and release of Teresa Kok is the entire work of the police. They do not have to ask me or inform me of their decision…
3 days later, his biggest flip flop:
Not convinced yet that Syed Hamid is the king of all bulk flip flops? Then read his latest action, because actions speak louder than words :
So if you want to work under the king of bulk flip flops for 2 straight years in a row, then start blogging deep elaborated blogposts that concern all Malaysians.
Make sure you show 1 clear logic and don’t flip flop, because the king of bulk flip flops wants to remain king as long as possible no matter what.
What is obesity?
Obesity is characterized by an increase in the size and number of fat cells in the body, which leads to an excessive accumulation of body fat. On average, overweight and obese individuals have higher blood glucose and cholesterol values – they are also prone to developing heart diseases (including cancer), and diseases of the joints as well.
Weight to height ratio is a simple and widely acceptable method, which estimates the total body mass rather than fat mass and correlates with the amount of body fat. BMI of 25-30 is considered as an indication of overweight. Overweight is excessive storage of fat in the body. Each gram of this store generates about 9 calories when burnt. If your food supplies 9 calories less than the bodies requirement you will reduce 1 gram of weight as body will burn that one gram fat to generate the calories for energy.
What is the solution for obese patients?
Individuals having a Body Mass Index of 25-30 are considered obese, while individuals having a Body Mass Index of 35 are considered morbidly obese – such individuals might suffer from various other diseases like blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension, joint aches etc., which are all concomitants of obesity.
Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery offers a new ray of hope for the morbidly obese patients to enjoy a normal and healthy life.
The following are the candidates for weight loss surgery:
· Individuals who have repeatedly tried and failed with dieting.
· Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 i.e. approximately 50kg than the ideal weight or more and health-related conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, joint disease, depression, or others.
Bariatric (weight loss) Surgery promotes weight loss through two different methods:
Gastric Banding is a procedure in which the stomach is neither opened nor stapled. The band creates an hourglass shaped stomach having a small upper pouch with a narrow outlet. The new small upper gastric pouch restricts the amount of food stomach can hold and that can be consumed at one time. So one feels full and satisfied after a small meal. The narrowed outlet increases the time it takes for the stomach to empty. One therefore feels full for a longer time with no desire to eat.
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y surgery) reduces the capacity of the stomach by creating a small stomach pouch. The procedure also constructs a tiny stomach outlet, which slows the speed by which food leaves your stomach. So one feels full after eating a small amount and will stay satisfied for a long time.
On average, patients lose 65-85% percent of excess body weight within one year after surgery.
Because surgery is such an effective method of long-term weight loss, most patients experience profound improvements in their health. Many of the health problems associated with obesity (overweight) are resolved after weight loss surgery.
Helping the patient reduce weight, cures him of various other ailments like:
· Type 2 Diabetes
· Obstructive sleep apnea
· High blood pressure
Other conditions that may be greatly improved after surgery is GI disorders like acid reflux, joint pains, swollen legs/skin ulcers, depression, menstrual irregularities and infertility. Countries like India, Singapore, Malaysia offer medical tourism service that offers obesity/ weight-loss related surgeries at a far more affordable price than that available in the United States. The popularity of medical tourism is on the rise since it has become the preferred mode of seeking treatment for all those patients who belong to countries where medical procedures are both expensive and difficult to access.
