PAP WILL CONDEMN THE 8 PTS BUT QUIETLY ADOPT THEM ALL
I see nayr69sg has helped you out there promptly already (before I read your reply).
Out of curiosity, you can't read trhe embedded FB post, is it because this device (eg. PC, phone) you're using to surf Sammyboy forum isn't the same device you use to login into your FB? Is that how it works? If so, in future for your sake, I can copy & paste the FB contents if I embed FB posts, eg. Ho Ching's... you wouldn't want to miss out on her FB posts eh?
Drs are greedy and conniving. Trying to sell u all sorts of dubious solubles and surgeries. A timely reminder of these conflicts of interests not unlike insurance and second hand car sales. Caveat emptor.Another Dr trying to talk......
Nope you may not. The way communication works in medicine is ONE WAY. Patient to Doctor.

Take control of your health care (exert your patient autonomy)
May 7, 2018
Autonomy means being in control of your own decisions without outside influence — in other words, that you are in charge of yourself. It is considered an essential development step toward maturity. We all make decisions about how to live our lives, although sometimes we have less choice than we might like.
- By Carolyn A. Bernstein, MD, FAHS, Contributor
When it comes to your health care, how much autonomy is the right amount?
There’s lots of interest in what the term means. Here’s a definition from MedicineNet:
Patient autonomy: The right of patients to make decisions about their medical care without their health care provider trying to influence the decision. Patient autonomy does allow for health care providers to educate the patient but does not allow the health care provider to make the decision for the patient.
This can be a hard line to navigate. In the past, physicians made all the decisions for their patients. They would plan the care, prescribe the treatment, and the patient would either comply or not. The word “comply” is itself pejorative. We have moved into a much more enlightened era of care, and many physicians seek to involve patients, to help them understand treatment options, and to work collaboratively to achieve goals of wellness.
When you and your doctor don’t see eye to eye on the best health care for you
But what if you and your physician don’t agree on the best course of care for you? What if your doctor insists that she knows best, and that your health will be at risk if you don’t follow her advice? Maybe your physician has discouraged you from researching your medical condition yourself. From the physician’s angle, most of us want our patients to understand their illness, be educated on goals of wellness, and be active participants in their own healthcare. But here’s where it gets tricky: physicians study for years to become doctors and bring their scientific knowledge and clinical acumen to the office and the bedside. Patients may not have those skills, but they know their own bodies, tolerance for treatment, and the manner in which they are comfortable receiving care.
Finding the right doctor
It’s sometimes hard to find a doctor you’re comfortable with, whether it’s for you or your child. Making a list of what’s important to you — whether you have a physician you like now, are uncomfortable in your current treating situation, or are in the process of looking for a new provider — can really help. Ask yourself these questions:
- What is my style about health care? Do I want my doctor to tell me what to do, list the options but give me the final choice, or let me describe the medication and plan that I have researched first?
- Would I like someone who is more relational or more boundaried? Do I want a physician who has the style of sharing his own life with me, asks about my life and tries to incorporate who I am as a person as well as a patient, or would I prefer a more businesslike approach? Do I want my physician to tell me if she has the same illness I do, and what it’s like for her, or would I prefer my doctor keep this to herself?
- How much do I want my doctor to know about me as a person? Is that important in the way I want to receive my health care?
- What might happen if I disagree with my doctor? Would that end the treating relationship right there, or could we work through a difference?
The right doctor will naturally support your patient autonomy
Figuring out how you want your physician to work with you lets you maintain your patient autonomy, whatever that autonomy might be. Receiving the kind of care that is comfortable for you is exercising your autonomy. There will always be blips along the way. One woman told me about a primary care doctor she had worked with for years who became enraged with her at a visit, seemingly out of the blue. She felt he was attacking her health care behavior without asking appropriate questions. She offered him several opportunities during the visit to re-evaluate his comments. When he couldn’t do so, she used her autonomy to fire him. Another patient described being told that if he did not take a specific medication, the outcome could be devastating for his health. This may have been true, but perhaps a more collaborative discussion would have allowed this patient to feel less bullied into a treatment. Feeling comfortable with your right to get the answers you need to understand your treatment reflects your patient autonomy. Make sure your doctor’s style matches your own. How the treating relationship works is an essential part of the treatment. If it works, everything is enhanced. If your autonomy is not respected, your health care will suffer.

It's not the doctors, but rather those people above the doctors whom the doctors dare not disobey.
I tried three different browsers on a single dekstop, all can't view the embedded FB post. But on two browsers, the error message : Cannot load Facebook SDK. Disable any adblocker or tracking protection and try again.
I disabled everything I could think of, but still cannot.
I have also tried four different devices. My desktop, my two laptops and my phone. Now I am thinking, could it be my VPN? Anyone else using VPN and having the same issue?
You are also my choice for MVP (Most Valuable Poster) of the year.
Thank you for the kind words. But I will have to disagree. I think there are others who post better than me lah.
No need people above doctors. People below doctors also can tekan the doctors and make them do their bidding.It's not the doctors, but rather those people above the doctors whom the doctors dare not disobey.
It's called patient autonomy!
So top and bottom both hot hot.....OVEN! Cooked till crisp.
Whichever browser you use, you must have first use that same browser to login your FB account, or else that browser won't be able to read embedded FB posts.
And yes, using VPN won't allow you to use some websites, eg. Netflix, so it's also a possible reason for your FB problems.
Do udate me know when you've solved your problem, I'm curious as what the solution is in your case.
You do NOT want to allow facebook embedded posts in the other sites you visit because doing so allows facebook to track exactly what you are doing there.
Once you can view an embedded facebook your privacy goes out the window even if you are not logged on to your facebook account.
I use facebook container to keep things private.
Same browser to login your FB account does not work, still can't view.
I think I solved it. It's my VPN. I turned it off and was able to view your FB embed. I have VPN on all my devices hence all also could not view. Need to tweak it to allow view of embeds.
Appreciate the info. This is an add-on to browsers, I saw they have it for all the popular browsers. Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Android, Safari.

What's the point of using VPN if you create a big fat hole in it?

SDP INTRODUCES A SENSIBLE AND FORESIGHTED PLAN TO EXIT THE COVID PANDEMIC
September 28, 2021Singapore Democrats
The lack of a clear strategy in dealing with the pandemic has also left businesses unable to plan ahead. The reactive nature of the MMTF’s approach in dealing with outbreaks of infections has led to stop-start, on-again/off-again policies which had impacted adversely on both employers and employees.
In light of this, the SDP has developed an 8-point plan to exit the pandemic and get Singapore out of the current mess and into a more stable and hopeful future. The paper has been drawn up by the party’s healthcare panel which also wrote our National Healthcare Plan in 2013 which was updated more recently in 2019.
1. Stop testing asymptomatic vaccinated individuals outside of contact tracing. This will help ensure that resources are concentrated on those who need them most – the elderly and vulnerable who are actually infected.
2. Ensure that those who test positive including pregnant women and children report to the nearest Public Health Preparedness Clinic (private General Practitioners or polyclinics) who can then evaluate them and decide if they need to be hospitalised or simply monitored over the week or so as we do with other infectious diseases such as urinary tract infections or food poisoning. GPs should be appropriately compensated for the care they provide.
3. Facilitate nursing homes to keep infected patients who are stable and do not need hospitalisation in their facilities but segregate them from the rest of the residents. Have GPs check on them and decide when they need hospitalisation. This will relieve the strain on hospitals and ensure that those who need hospital care are not deprived or delayed.
4. Set up a dedicated ambulance hotline similar to what was used during SARS for those who have tested positive or are identified as contacts so they can be rapidly brought to the hospital if their pulse oximeter readings show evidence of low oxygen concentrations.
5. Publish regular reports on test positivity and all clusters (like the dengue cluster reports) as in the recent decision to publish a map of emerging cases. This will help the public to seek medical attention if they develop symptoms after visiting those areas.
6. Do away with blanket closures and restrictions. Instead, implement interventions that are targeted like with food poisoning outbreaks or hand, foot and mouth disease outbreaks in childcare centres. Shut the physical building or facility where an outbreak occurs instead of across the whole island where outbreaks have not occurred.
7. Intensify molecular epidemiology (genetic fingerprinting) process. Every public hospital and referral lab must perform this for every positive case and the information should be fed into a database modelled on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) GISAID and the information therein made publicly available. This will make the identification of large clusters reliable.
8. Conduct rapid adaptive design randomized clinical trials on all WHO-approved vaccines so they can be brought in for the trials and studied as boosters or primary doses. These vaccines should be commissioned and funded rapidly. The same should be done for other preventative agents which have shown promise in earlier randomized trials such as povidone iodine or ivermectin. This will settle once and for all in a clear scientific manner many of the questions swirling around social media on alternatives to the current vaccination strategies.
Collectively, these measures will provide society with a more reliable and predictable way of handling the pandemic. They will build confidence as we go forward in dealing with a virus that is here to stay. Singapore must deal with the pandemic in a steady and intelligent manner that brings hope and security.
