Competition

Anyone who believe in my prediction yesterday of fewer ophthalmologists or cardiologists must be intensely thick - all emperors would fight for their (own) kingdom. We need to screen for cataract or macular degeneration, set up facilities for primary angioplasty for myocardial infarction, or look out for chronic kidney diseases !

You see, each kingdom would try to expand. Even if any one of them doesn't intend to do so from the beginning, they need to join the competition once they see other empires are thriving. This is a matter of live-or-death (not of the patient) !

The quick answer to this situation – obviously by our honorable council members – is to increase the quota of medical student (and pupil nurse).

This is really a perfect illustration of the old Cantonese wisdom: 一闊三大
