In my opinion, it's common sense: medical behavior should NOT be viewed as merely a provider-consumer relationship. Rather, it should be considered a “highly regulated business.” Essentials for survival should not be subject to the pure forces of demand and supply, nor should they be determined sol...

If the relationship between doctors and patients is not "supply and demand", why there's "supply induced demands" problem!? Very interesting topic. I will try my best to be there.

Thanks! Hope you can make it there for the discussion!

...醫療行為絕對不是業者與消費者的關係。 https://article.denniswave.com/7472/ 中文蠻有趣。上面那句跟「醫療行為不絕對是業者與消費者的關係。」意思一樣嗎? 如果醫療行為絕對不是業者與消費者的關係，那應該是甚麼關係? 所謂的「醫病關係」如果是國家該高度介入管理以保障人民健康與生命的業務，那麼，國家應該做到那些事？ "Chinese is quite interesting. Does the previous sentence mean the same as 'Medical behavior is not purely a relationship b...

The business is so good thanks to their system and their protectors. But why can they be exampted from the free market of supply and demand? Why do most of us, as patients, have to agree that there should be fewer doctors on the market so we have to pay more? Although the following article does not...

Dear YOYOs, Last month, South Korea doctors went on strike to protest the government's plans to increase 2,000 medical school students per year - a 65% increase on the current yearly enrollment of 3,058 students. Thousands of junior doctors, including interns and residents, went on strike, causing s...

If you want to torture yourself with a book you really don't like, joining a book club and reading with others might be the best strategy.

Obesity is not just other people’s problem. When you work hard to control your diet, exercise, and maintain good living habits, your neighbor lets himself lie on the sofa all day eating junk food. Does his out-of-shape body really have nothing to do with you? Imagine when you try to squeeze into an ...

I'm wondering what the differences between TikTok and short videos from Line and YouTube are!? They seem quite the same, don't they? Or what is TikTok exactly??😂 Hi Luis, thank you for raising the question. Yes, I was also wondering what’s the difference between TikTok short videos and short videos...

Dear YOYOs, You must have heard of “digital detox”, but have you heard of “dopamine detox”, or “dopamine fast”? Dopamine is a “feel pleasure” hormone associated with our brain’s reward system and addiction. In modern society, the reward pathway in our brain gets activated easily and frequently, espe...

First, I have to admit that this video is too difficult for me to understand. Also wondering if anyone has downloaded the 1-page PDF summary mentioned at the end of the video clip..

Instead, I frequently find ourselves involuntarily defending our “state of being not busy.” It seems that we will be judged if we confess that we are not busy. In my view, it presents a more profound myth entrenched in modern society. Yes, that’s very interesting. When my friends try to find a gath...

I agree with Kooper that the state of being busy is neutral. I believe it’s what you’re busy with that makes your busy experience either positive or negative. For example, if you are doing something you love, on the right track to achieve your goals, or becoming the person you want to be, then being...

As far as the priority seat is concerned, I'm fond of the idea of using name cards or other recognizable indicators to make the needs of individuals more visible. Perhaps tech innovators could devise gadgets that highlight these needs without compromising anyone's dignity. In South Korea, a trial o...

1. Let's try the blind-portrait drawing exercise. I have a question. In the video, the lecturer said the first drawing was not a human face, but an icon or a visual shorthand. I have managed to do some practice of the blind-portrait drawing, but all my works look like that icon. What should I do? :o

1.If your friends tell you they feel imprisoned by their families, or by their jobs, or by their relationships, would you choose to be “an idiot compassion” or ” a delivering compassionate truth bombs”? I would choose to be “an idiot compassion” (I know this is contrary to the concept the speaker w...
