Hello, againswind. I happeded to come across your idea. Actually I am one member of the China Medical Board and I am also an internal medicine resident here in U.S as well. We had a meeting last year with Lincoln Chen and we came with this primary care advocate as one of those ideas. If you wish, welcome to join to do something for China medical system. you can also contact Lincoln Chih-Ho Chen my email is shala621@hotmail.com
At least I don't feel so, I can have more comfortable life in Shanghai than in here, with parents, maid, food, own culture etc; But I choose to stay here, the main reason is I feel I can contribute to the society more and help people regardless their races more, with same time I put into.
----true, it's easier to deliver health care here because everything is established before we come here. that's exactly why i feel i don't contribute a lot here. if we can establish the same system in china, maybe it's hard, frustrating, time consuming,but it definitely means a lot more.
life in china is not only about food, maid, it has lots of other things.
maybe i sound like a 憤青,hehe, please bear with me.:)
Our earth is become smaller and smaller, no nation is important than other; We are all human being, that's it. Don't always think this is someone else country, there will be no country at all if no one there.
-----i can't agree with you. for me, China is more important than US. period, hehe.i never feel i am one of american, neither will they. this is the reality.

Sorry, Huohua, I have to comment on this:
makesense 和bmw,我們總說我不能解決任何問題,因為我們沒有勇氣失去眼前的東西,好不容易飄洋過海,體會了美國的生活,即使沒有什麽大成就,但是棄之可惜。--At least I don't feel so, I can have more comfortable life in Shanghai than in here, with parents, maid, food, own culture etc; But I choose to stay here, the main reason is I feel I can contribute to the society more and help people regardless their races more, with same time I put into.
我覺得在美國,才是真正什麽都改變不了,美國的醫療製度才是真正不會為我們的努力改變,這是別人的國家。--Our earth is become smaller and smaller, no nation is important than other; We are all human being, that's it. Don't always think this is someone else country, there will be no country at all if no one there.
I AGREE WITH BMW. I don’t think it will work out in China, even the city like Shanghai in the near future.
Even in America, most of time, primary care only means free check up provided by insurance company to most people. No one will notify you, it’s time for check up if you don’t show up at the clinic by yourself, such as every 2-3 year, PAP Smear free is only accessible to these women who know it and who have insurance for it. Of course, here is better than in China, you can see these reminders at clinic, at Women’s and let you know you should do regular check up for Breast cancer, cervical cancer etc. But for these poor, their lives are really pitiful in America and even worse in China. However, we as an individual can only do that little, try to be helpful to everyone who is struggling is a big achievement to me. Dream can be big, but it maybe frustrated when you want to make it to come true.
I have been reading your blog for a while and admire your courage very much. But sometimes, I feel you are thinking too much and trying to be good to everyone, which is unnecessary. Since you have had different life experience, you should know what you want in the future. Being a specialist isn't easy, I don't mean the intellegence, but the time you and your future family want to sacrifice; it's not a working choice but a life style choice.
Once you make up your mind, just go ahead, don't think what other people like it or not.
Take Care.

好久沒來了,落花,你的所思所想都很有道理.有時我也覺得,我們出來並不是為了一份高薪,一幢洋樓.你所提到的primary care 的觀念我並不陌生,讓我的心悸動.這個概念我聽他說起過.
曾經愛過的他就是一位優秀很有前途的外科醫生.我迷戀他做為醫生的風度和學識.但在中國,你也知道,很多醫生最終都醫而優則仕.我對他的選擇不解,他隻是輕輕地對我說,我的一把刀能救的人也許有數,但做為一方衛生官員,我能做得更多.
多年過去了,他的話仍溫暖著我.他是我人生路上的引路人,我出國來就是為了回去後能做這樣的一個官員,但我卻滯留在異國,為了一份所謂的高薪.
不知道你是不是也和他一樣的思想?
