View from Earth: Caring for Health
By MIMA DIXON

As a woman who has become disabled through disease, I am particularly interested in the glimpses of health as seen through your pages. It appears that you are far in advance of us in this area. A world with a cure for cancer, a way to either slow up or stop arthritis, and a longevity we only dream of.

To take a six-week sabbatical and have full confidence of a cure for leukaemia as City Councilor Roy Yolen did is inconceivable and, although we are making breakthroughs almost daily in the field, cancer on Earth is a very serious disease. People spend years battling it, using very toxic drugs, and with no certainty of a cure.

The numbers of people on Earth that are crippled by arthritis are astounding, some at a young age, and many elderly. In poorer countries (known here as the Third World), it is a killer, as people are prevented from working, and cannot buy food. What we would give to know what the 'Stand Up Tall' public health initiative actually involves. Treating people at risk and stopping it starting is beyond our reach.

Your medical facilities are also it seems in top shape, with renovations being planned to the infectious pathogen unit of Ng General for a 200 bed quarantine zone, something that could not be conceived of even in our richest countries. In the UK, where I live, there is a central health system, and care is free, but poor management, and intermittent funding have led to chaos, and the quality of care is patchy at best. Beds are at a premium, with few available, and many being blocked with elderly patients who are unable to go home as care is not available. In America, arguably the richest nation, patients pay for care, so if the standard heart-reconstruction undergone by Raymund Geltman were available, several life-times of debt would follow.

Not surprisingly with the quality of care, your lifespan seems to be longer than ours. The only natural death so far reported in the Sentinel is Ruth Coralhouse who died at 108. You expressed no surprise at her age, unlike us - we were astonished by this. Currently the oldest man alive is 113, and the greatest ever life span is 120 years.

It seems though from the coma of Pietro Salk that not everything is solvable. From other articles we learn that accidental deaths cannot be prevented or reversed, and we gather from one of our correspondents that flu is still an issue.

We on Earth can only look forward in hope to healthcare as good as yours, available to all that need it, when they need it.

Alejo, Aurora Together

The celebrity gossip scene is buzzing with the news that Alejo Jackson, the singer for hot rock group Roll for Damage, appeared together with singer Aurora Belle at the exclusive Thursday night opening of Never Now, the latest offering from restaurateur Sharon Copeland. "They looked very comfortable with one another," said an anonymous fellow party-goer. "There is no question to anybody who saw the two of them that they are together." (Full text)
