The idea of having a $10 cheap hemodialysis may become a reality sooner than later

I have posted on another favorite blog.  CheapCures the model of Dr. David Shetty's Narayana Hosptial in India where they have a $10.00 hemodialyis (about P500.00) compared to about P2,500 or  $50.00 Why and how can they do it.  I have talked to Dr Tuazon trying to convince him to maybe start studying and implementing this.

I have discussed this on various occasions with other Professors at Strama defense.  A fellow lady professor is undergoing hemodialysis and it costs her more than $1,200 per month.  It is difficult to be in that situation even if you have money;  as you get weaker, your income generating activity becomes less, and you are inclined to sell your assets or pass the hemodialysis and just die.  The ballooning health care costs catering to the rich and famous are getting heights astronomical.  If you are poor, you cant see a doctor, and just die.  Pitiful.

How come some of my posts are already references for certain topics?

I now realize that bloggers do much to increase the content of the web. When we research some items, it turns out that our very own work are on top of the list as reference.  For instance, asI did the presentation on Vision Mission formulation, I researched on:

1.  Rose Montenegro Reyes of Makati Med (on hospital turn around)  (Prof Jorge at Ateneo)

2.  Dr. David Shetty and Narayana Hospital in India  (at cheapcures site)

my previous post were at the top of Google Search.  Wow.  Little research goes a long way.

Do these contribute to rise of AGSB ranking?  My skills as part of the faculty?
