Vital Signs and Remedies for a Full Spectrum World

New and Improved

To continue my post from yesterday, about the brand new face of nabeepchen.com. First, that awful blue background is gone and my old graphics are back, albeit slightly different.

Next, as I said yesterday, I am consolidating the topics a little more and trying to stay on track. Of course, I may stray every now and then, if something juicy pops up that doesn’t quite fit neatly into any of the categories above.

If you notice, there is a new category called “Careers.” The healthcare industry is booming, despite any of the chitchat of economic downtown. People are getting sick, the rate of chronic diseases has never been higher, and unless our new president does a major coup and forces the agri/chemical/oil/biotech industries to clean up their act and remove toxic crap from our food and environment–and completely revamps the FDA by removing the parasites currently in control–then the high rate of illness will continue.

Healthcare reform is another issue in and of itself, and if dramatic reforms do ever transpire, that may change the job market. But even so, the job market will still remain strong, and the opportunities in healthcare go far beyond physician and nurse.

So this is a new area which I would like to address and expand upon, and offer real information about different fields.  Go beyond the nonsense, for example, that you would find in Johnson & Johnson’s Discover Nursing website, which makes nursing seem like a Hallmark card. Where people find that they can “be myself” by working as a nurse. I promise, I will try not to make you gag.

Another new topic is that of nomads. Healthcare nomads roam the earth in search of jobs, and also medical care. Travel jobs, either short or long term, are available to nurses, doctors, etc, both in the U.S. and abroad. On the flip side, patients are traveling abroad in search of less expensive care, whether it be cosmetic or life saving. Medical travel is a rapidly growing industry that shows no signs of slowing down. Unless something miraculous takes place within our own healthcare system–like everyone suddenly being endowed with terrific, comprehensive and inexpensive coverage–medical travel will continue to blossom.

So stay tuned and let me know what you think.
