Caring Doctors

Postby miltiades » Tue Aug 18, 2009 12:34 am

Over the last 7 and a half years I have have had the unenviable task of having to find my self in situations where demanding circumstances forced me to become disparagingly analytical of the medical profession and in particular the front troops as it were , nurses , Doctors on duty etc.
I can honestly say with first hand experience both here in the UK and in Limassol that the level of professionalism and care have been superb.
A small percentage of my personal experience was gained in Limassol at the Polyclinic but in particular the Doctor who looked after my wife , Dr Demitris , up to that time , about 5 years ago now , I knew very little of the true professionalism and dedication of the Cypriot medical professionals.

Last Friday , on visiting my wife at the Royal Marsden Hospital , I met a young Doctor who was so caring and so patient with my wife's persistent questioning I couldnt help admiring the way he handled some rather difficult questions from my wife who after fighting cancer for the last 7 and half year has become a hardened "" interrogator "" , her defence mechanism as I decided it is.
I looked at the name badge of the young doctor and wandered as to the origin of his name Dr.Panai .
He spoke fluent English without the slightest trace of an accent.
I couldnt help my curiosity and wanted to ask where his name originated from. Before I had a chance to do so he lowered his voice , turned to me and said , are You Greek Sir ? No I replied, I'm a G/C !!
Milate Ellinika he asked . But of course I replied !!
I saw Dr Panayioti on Saturday and Sunday.

Earlier on this evening on arriving at the hospital and entering my wife's room , a doctor was in attendance , before I could say anything he looked at me and said , Yia sou Yianni , your wife told me me about you , I'm Dr. Demetris !! Not the one from Cyprus I hasten to add , this Doctor came from Larissa !!

The moral of the story , thank God , even though he doesn't exist , for the West and our dedication to life and the sanctity of life , our commitment to taking care of the less fortunate amongst us , our dedication and perseverance in constantly researching in order to discover treatments to help alleviate decease and suffering , something that the father of medicine hundreds of years ago must have had in mind in devising the great medical oath .
To think that people blow themselves up causing death and horrific injuries , unimaginable.
Long Live The West !

I too have spent many months in the UK NHS system and saw at first hand what wonder they are to everyone and I agree with most of your comments, but kindly explain that to those wonderful American friends of yours, particularly to those who oppose any form of National Health system in that greatest freedom loving nation of the west, US of A.

The real moral of this story Miltiades, is that you’re just a selfish, racist, and gutless heap of shit, who only sees “sanctity of life” if they’re one of your own!

You pipped me at the post there GR :lol:

I would have added that his reference to the 'Non Existence' of God could be very hurtful to those who may have beliefs in such, furthermore, for one so devoted to the murderous actions of his chosen country (UK) and it's allies, one would expect HIM to be among the last to comment on the 'Sanctity of Life'. :roll:

Hmm, do you think this is what the gutless jerk meant by “sanctity of life”

It was THOUSANDS of years ago not hundreds and he (the father of medicine) was one of your despised Kalamarades -- which you never fail to disparage at any other time, you hypocrite!

O, thousands of years ago means thousands and thousands not two thousand , where hundreds means many hundreds !!
How many thousands exactly are more than .. 25 hundreds !!!
Hippokrates was of course an ancient Greek , not a kalamaras !!
Rumours also have it that he was from Stroumbi The Great :lol:

You are right there mate , I dont give a shit about suicide fucking bombers , unlike you who adores and idolises all the savages who want to blow themselves up so that fools like you can say , ""what else can they do ?"
The patients of Ayios Stephanos were MY OWN TOO , WERE THEY YOURS ALSO PLONKER ?
You pretend that you care about the victims of the Iraq and other wars when in reality you dont give a shit , CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME PLONKER !
Prepi na fais polli psoumi mexri na mboris na kritikaris ton Miltiadin .
Until then boy , shut it .

Don't EVER call me "mate" you 2-cent gutless sewerage slime because if I ever see you… God help me I’m gonna deck you! :evil:

You are not starting that bloody nonsense again with the GR ..treatment ARE YOU MATE !!!
Look mate , Im older than you , tougher than you , more knowledgeable than you , more logical than you and more ...handsome!!
You want a poll mate ?? :lol:

If it's over two thousand, then that is THOUSANDS.

And he was the archetype for the Turks (and you) calling Greeks Kalamarades because they traditionally, since antiquity, spent a lot of their time writing!

The term Kalamaras was not known in ancient times . The great philosophers , scientists , astronomers , historians and medical men all derived from StG , didn't you know.
Mi mou tous orhis taratte ! Who uttered these profound words , no , not Pythagoras as I here you say but Kouroukshiafalis of Stroumbi the Great !
