Mental case problems.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles.  Anyhow, today we will post another personal article, Mental Case Problems



Our human brains is there to guide us, when it works well. But sometimes even good minds fail to work the way they are supposed tom work, this is one of the problems that we face these days. There are reasons to believe that today there are many people that require mental help. 

Welcome to our article, Mental Case Problems

Our human brain and its problems.

Dear readers, today we are talking about mental health. You know, in life there are many problems; one of the biggest problems is our human brains, when it does not work the way it is supposed to work, and instead of solving the problems that we have, it becomes a problem itself. We can say that mental illness is strange to understand.

Anyhow, today I am witnessing one of this mental health problems at close range, so, let us see, if we can do anything to help this person. I think that it can help talking about it, because it is the only way to find help, about what can be done.

------------------------------------

This is a personal cry for help. 

I think that people that are affected from a mental disorder, they are not aware of the problems they are causing to themselves and the people around them, they are aware that they have a health problem, but they don’t know what to do, so, while they wish to be helped, they don’t try to find help because they are confused. So, we can say that it is a silent cry for help; it is a sad story, they need help, but they don’t look for help.

I know that these things happen in life, and I believe it is useful to talk about what is happening to this young man, hoping that somebody can help me.

You see, what I am talking about here, is a very strange case of mental illness, that is affecting a young man close to me. Now because this case is about mental health, all names and relationship to me have been changed, so, there is no link that can identify the person concerned. Anyhow, I am not an expert in mental health issues, even though I have observed a few cases of mental illness.

Anyhow, this article is not meant to pass advise or information to anybody, because I need advice myself, therefore, you can say that this article here is a cry for help. Therefore, I am in search of what can be done to help this young man, before he becomes too ill, that would be hard for him to become a normal member of the community again, as I fear that there are signs that this is happening. Now that I have explained the reasons, let me tell you about the people involved in this case.

------------------------------------

People involved in this case. 

In this article we are talking about Mr. James Lee, who is the son of Mr. Don Lee; anyhow I and Mr. Don Lee have been friends for years, even before he married Sara who is a close relative to me, so, there is not much that I don’t know about Don Lee and his family, including James Lee that is now a young man in his early thirties. Unfortunately, James Lee has mental health problems, for this reason we believe he lost his job, or he left his job as an engineer; yes Mr. James Lee is a Civil engineer; he graduated at the University of Queensland, he has worked for a few years as a Civil engineer and that was good for him; the real reason why he lost a left his job is hard to say, because James Lee keeps these personal things to himself.

Therefore, these days Mr. James Lee does not work, and he is not looking for work ether, if he continues to do nothing, he is going to waste his life achieving nothing. Mr. Don Lee laments this state of things, so, he is worried about his son mental health, because he is acting strange, as I am going to explain here under. Anyhow, we want to help James Lee; so, we are looking for ways how to help him.

While we are thinking to help him, we start thinking all those years of studying have gone down the drain, because James Lee is mentally sick, and does not want to see the mental doctors, he denies his illness, and that has become a real problem for everybody around.

Anyhow, we are concerned about him, so, we want to help him and are looking for help and crying for help to anyone that can help. But at the same time, we don’t want to say much openly, because it is not nice to talk about people with mental illness. So, even asking for help has become a problem, in this case.

-------------------------------------------

Mr. Lee parents lament his illness. 

Mr. and Mrs. Lee lament about their son illness, because they have done everything they could to help him, but they did not succeed in helping him much, so, they don’t know what else to do, you see, wherever they turn there are problems. Anyhow, today these mental health problems are hard to solve; I can see the reasons why, but at the same time, I wish that it was easier to access this mental health service.

Today it is hard to see a mental health doctor, but it needs to be easy; because in cases like James Lee, I believe that it is necessary that the patient be seen from these doctors soon, because the longer a patient is sick, the longer it is going to take to make him healthy again; therefore, they need to be seen as soon as possible, but most times it does not happen that way, that is why James Lee’s parents lament about the mental health system. Because it is hard to see a young Civil Engineer go to waste. At this point of time, I believe that you want to know why we believe that he is mentally sick, so, let us describe how he behaves and what he does.

James Lee is not working these days, and he does not look for work, which is not right for a qualified young man of his age; his behavior is strange and does not make sense to anybody that sees what he does. Now let me describe a few strange things that he does: he comes home and he starts making loud noise by banging say the car keys on the table, then he may go in his bedroom and slams the door, after that he purposely drops things on the floor and makes loud noise, if anybody asks him what is the problem, he gets very upset, because he is upset he wants to scratch himself, slap himself or bite himself and other strange things as well, and then he blame the person asking him and say; look what you make me do? It is your fault, because you are making me do this to myself: But that is not all, because his behavior keeps changing, so, it is even hard to make a list of what he does. For this reason, the family and close friends are concerned about James Lee.

Anyhow, because we want to explain Mr. James Lee behavior as much as possible, we are going to say more about his strange behavior here-under.

------------------------------ 


Some mental people strange behavior. We could say that mental people are very strange, I believe that they see a lot of things in a different way, they are confused and act in a strange way, they could even want to kill themselves or do some very strange things that would upset the people around them. 

Mr. James Lee illness strange behavior. 

As we have said, we believe that James Lee has mental illness, because Mr. James Lee is behaving in many strange ways and it is hard to explain most of them, but I must try to describe the most obvious, and the most consistent, so that a profile story case can be made. So, let us tell you what has happened recently, then, we will start telling you the story, in a more detailed way from the beginning.

As we have said above, James Lee becomes upset and agitated, when people talk to him, he likes to stay all by himself with his own thoughts, but at the same time he makes these noises that upset the people around him; so, what has happened a few weeks ago is this; it was about past ten PM when most people go off to bed, but James Lee was not thinking of going to sleep at that time, he must have been upset in his own strange ways, because he started one of those strange behavior, and was making very loud noises, his parents tried to ask him why he was doing these things, but James Lee became upset and among other things, like scratching his face, hitting himself with his own fist in the head, dropping on the floor, as if he was dying or something similar, he also went into the kitchen picked up a knife and wanted to harm himself with it, and many other things that are hard to describe.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee were very worried about James, and even though they were very upset and telling their son that they wanted him to see a doctor as soon as possible, or they would call an ambulance to take him to the nearest hospital; James Lee did not want to hear about it, and he tried to stop them several times, when they were calling the ambulance, but in the end somehow they managed to call the ambulance and it came about midnight; strange as it may seem, James did not argue much with the paramedic of the ambulance, while the ambulance was there, Mr. Don Lee the father of James Lee explained to the paramedic about the suicidal intention of his son, in the hope that he would be seen from a psychiatrist, so, they thought that when the doctors see their son, their problem would be half solved, but even all this effort was not to be successful, because James Lee only saw the physician of the hospital during the night, or in the early hours of the morning; then he was supposed to wait at the hospital until the psychiatrist came in to see him, but he did not want to wait, so, he left the hospital and walked back home. The staff of the hospital were alarmed at his disappearance and called Mr. Lee, to see if James Lee had returned home. Anyhow, soon after that James came home, so, everything seemed to be a bit better, except for the fact that James Lee had failed to see the psychiatrist, when his parents had provided one of the best opportunities to see him.

Here we have to point out, that it is hard to live with these people that have a mental illness, and a good opportunity that could have solved the problem has vanished, just because James Lee is in denial and he believes that he does not need to see a psychiatrist. So, now Mr. Lee and the rest of the family are waiting for next opportunity or think to create another opportunity for James to see a mental doctor.

----------------------------------

Mr. and Mrs. Lee days are a torment. 

Since the day James Lee came back from the hospital without seeing the psychiatrist, life is a torment for Mr. and Mrs. Lee. Because they are still looking for ways of how they can make their son James see a psychiatrist, so, every day that passes, it is another day of torment for Mr. Lee and his family; one has to acknowledge, that there is nothing more painful than this sad happening in a normal day life, because you are forced to see that a member of your family can be helped, but you cannot help him, because he denies that he needs help.

Today I am editing this article, because I need to add something else, as things have changed. But, let me tell you these sad happenings have gone on for several months, and all that time it has been a torment for Mr. and Mrs. Lee. But one day after many attempts finally they got their son to see a mental specialist, which admitted James Lee to hospital, where James Lee stayed about a week. Because a patient in hospital costs a lot of money to the government, Mr. James Lee was discharged early. Anyhow, at this point of time things seem to be a bit better; because James Lee admits to himself that he is sick, so, he takes his medicine, and goes back to see the hospital doctor every month.

Now it has been a few months since Mr. James Lee was in hospital. Today James Lee is a bit better, because he is not very agitated like he was before, but still he is not able to work, because he does not even look for work. Mr. and Mrs. Lee are worried, because this can become permanent, as they don’t see their son health improve enough, and to the point of becoming independent.

Anyhow, one wonders how hard life can be, it seems to hit always the same unfortunate people, is seems to run in some families more than the others. Anyhow, at this point of time, we must wait and see what happens next.

-----------------------------

Today I am editing this article. 

Today I am editing this article, so, I want to report what has been happening, since I wrote this article about James Lee illness. There is not much positive to report, because even though the state of health of, Mr. James Lee has improved, it has not improved that much, but he is calmer than before. However, James Lee has not found a job, and he is not looking for one.

Mr. Don Lee and Mrs. Lee are upset, because now, they start to believe that their son may never work again, after so many years of study and everything else. They have tried their best, they have made their son see a physiatrist, he has been in hospital for a week, and a few follow up visits, which have helped a little. I suppose that today the doctors cannot fix everything, and in the case of James Lee, they have only partly helped.

Anyhow, Mr. and Mrs. Lee were proud to have their son a civil engineer in the family, now they think that they are going to have a sick son to look after, so, in their old age, instead of their son looking after them, they must continue to look after their son, because James does not know what he is doing.

So, what can we say, we can only be sorry for them, because no one deserves to be this ill that cannot look after oneself, and we feel sorry for the parents as well, because that is a big burden they should endure, for the rest of their lives. 

Having told you James Lee sad story, I can only say that I feel sorry for them. But what can we do? That is life, we must accept it and try to do our best, and hope that God gives us strength to continue to live the best way we can. 

I believe that I have said enough in this mental article article problem. Next time will be writing a problem on the internet, My accounts on Hub Pages .

Health safety net may fail.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles.  Anyhow, today we will post another personal article,   Health safety net fails
 


We all need a good health safety net, run from the government, for free if it is possible. Now, this building is called, Princes Alexander Hospital, it is one of the main hospitals in Brisbane that provides all necessary medical services to South Brisbane and the country around  us. It also takes in difficult cases from far away places. It has also a large mental health section, it is very good, but even this may not satisfy everybody, especially mental cases. So, let us look at this article hereunder.  

 Welcome to our article, Health safety net fails

Dear readers, in life we need rules to follow, but sometimes those rules do not work out, in this article we want to talk about the health safety net. The health safety net is run from the government health authorities, but because of its rules, it may fail to help those people that need help most.

The most likely people that will be affected, are those people that need mental help, because this is where it can easily fail. So, we want to point out, that it is not easy to access mental help, because of the rules in the mental health act, so, the patient will suffer before he can get help. Now, we are not saying that the mental health act is to blame, because it needs to work that way for different reasons. However, we are writing this article, from the point of view of the patient and his family, because they are forced to go through hard times, so, we are complaining about it. In the hope that one day, a better health safety net can be set up, where it is easier for the sick people and their family to access. Anyhow, let us look at what is available to use today, when we need mental help, which are the most difficult to access.

 

Better health safety net is required.  

From what has happened to my family and is happening even now, I believe that a better health safety net is required, because we have problems when we need mental help. I am saying this, because I have been through myself a few times, and I can see that this is happening again to my family and friends. Anyhow, this outside help that we are talking about exists, but it should be readily available, to those people that need mental help. You see, there are times when the rules to get mental help are too strict, for this reason it fails to achieve what is meant to achieve. Now, let us look at the set up, and the reason why this happens.

You see, in most countries like Australia, this help is provided from the government, this could be the federal government, the state government or the local authorities. Of course, there are private doctors and organizations that provide this help also; but they cost money. So, here we want to talk about what the government of the day provide for its own citizen; whether this help is free, or you must contribute to use it. Anyhow, this can be different from country to country and from state to state, but any good government must have this health safety net in place, to help those people that need help, therefore, it should be readily available on demand to anyone that needs help urgently; but sometimes it is hard to access, for many reasons.

Therefore, the health safety net fails to provide what it is supposed to provide, in our case, medical emergency and mental health; this failure to provide medical help, can have real consequences for the people that need help. Now, if this help is for physical reasons, it is easier for the people around to decide what help they need; so, in this case they ask to see a doctor, because it is easy to see why we need help.

But what about if the person needing mental help does not know that he needs help, even when their families and friends ask them to look for help, they don’t admit it and keep making themselves sicker, like when a person has mental health problems, you see this is where most times help fails to take place. 

---------------------------------

Hospitals can solve these health problems.  

We know that hospitals have been built to solve these health problems, so, the best place to look for help is your local hospital, because hospitals can solve all the health problems, since there are all sorts of doctors and specialists to help you; but even though they are there to help, sometimes it is not easy to get admitted and that becomes a problem that is hard to solve, so, in a way they fail to do what they are supposed to do.

Having said that, let us leave behind these cases that require medical attention for physical reasons, as they are obvious to the on lookers when a person needs help, for this reason, he can receive medical help soon and solve his problem. But what about those cases of mental illness, when we look fit, but we are not, that person has got to become very sick before he can receive help.

This is most likely to happen, when we have mental health problems, because to spot the need for help is hard to see, but the need for the patient to see the right doctors is important. Most times these cases are sad cases, because people around the sick person may think it is funny, how that person acts; so, instead of finding a way to help that person, they may laugh thinking that that person is trying to be funny, when that person cannot think straight, and half the time he does not know what he is doing, this person needs help like the other sick people, because he doesn’t know that he needs to be seen from a mental doctor to get better.

Perhaps it is the stigma that we attach to mental health people, that prevents the on lookers and the sick person to try to see a mental doctor. Whatever is the case that sick person needs to see a doctor, and it would be good if all parties involved accept that easily, because this can solve the problem. You see, when we need mental help and the patient doesn’t ask for it directly, the health safety net can fail. The patient needs to ask himself for help to receive help. Other people cannot be involved, that is the main problem.  

----------------------------------

When we need mental help sometimes.  

Anyhow, I am writing this article about mental health, because things have happened in my family and my close friend family, therefore, we need to find help. But that is not all, because I have reached the stage where I don’t know what to do, I cannot think of anything useful or interesting to say, because these mental health problems in my family.

As we have said, when we feel sick, we to go to see the doctor, but that is not always the case for people that have a mental health problem, because they may not even know that they have this mental problem, or they are ashamed to acknowledge that they have it, but that is not the only problem that we have here, because the biggest problem is to gain access to a mental clinic and specialist.

Now this is another reason why the health safety net may fail to help, the mentally sick people, are living their lives beyond their control. So, whatever they do may not be what the normal people would do, but the mentally sick people may not even know, that what they are doing may upset other people, they are not aware of what they should do to act normal, because this is a problem beyond their control, so, let us see what some of those people do, when they live their lives beyond their control.

----------------------------

Sometimes life events are beyond our control. 

In my lifetime, I have been involved with a few cases of mental illness, some from my family members, and some from close friends. From what I have seen, I believe that these mental life events, most times are beyond our control. Anyhow, I am going to write here how I have seen these cases, and what I have learned from them: To do that I have chosen two cases which I know what has happened; to write about them I believe that I must write two more articles in hub pages, because I want to keep them separate, otherwise it would be hard to understand the situation of each case.

Anyhow, we can say, that every time that there is serious mental illness in the family, or even in a close friend family, there is chaos around the place, and it cannot be avoided. You see, people that have a mental illness do strange things, they are hard to control, because of the simple fact that they may not know that they are sick, they keep doing strange things and most times they isolate themselves, they start isolating themselves, because they start to notice that the people around them, are suspicions about what they are doing; if anybody says anything to them, they will try not to answer that question, or answer it in a snappy way without thinking what they are saying; there are times, when they can become aggressive towards the people that talks to them, so, the people around them will notice that; so, they will try to tell them to see a doctor, to find out what is wrong with them, but whether they go to see a doctor is another matter. Sometimes they go to see the doctor, but when they are there, they will talk to the doctor about things that worries them, but they will try to avoid anything that might suggest their mental condition, by doing that they believe that they have been seen from a doctor and they are okay, so, any help that is available to them cannot be used, because they are denying the state of mind they are in, for this reason help fails to arrive for them.

But that is not all, you see, the hardest thing to do for the people around the ill person, it is that they cannot enforce anything at all, it is very hard to see when a loved one is sick and you cannot help them, because the ill person cannot accept that he/she is sick and should look for help.

There are a lot of questions that we can ask, but the most important one, is how we can force the sick person to see the right doctor, and admit that they are sick and need help, so, they agrees to see the doctor and accept treatment; you see, today even if you are mentally sick, you can live free in the community; because even if the doctor know that you are sick, the doctor can only force treatment to those people that are so sick and they don’t know what is happening around them, so, they are at risk of injuring themselves or some people around them.

That is why help for the mentally sick people fails to take place, and presently it is failing us again; I will write a few things in more details when I write more articles about mental help, because I believe that I have said enough in this article, so, see you soon, in our next article of, Mental Case Problems

February 2022 world news diary.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles. 
 Anyhow, today we will post another article,February 2022 World News Diary.  


Let us start with the Winter Olympics, this photo is one of the ceremony in Beijing. I believe that the Olympics games in Greece, were used in the past to satisfy man need to compete. So, instead of deadly combat, the people challenged themself with these competitions, to see who was the best.   

Welcome to  February 2022 World News Diary.

Dear readers, this month of February 2022, there are several things going on, so, it is hard to know where to start, it is just like other times, there is still a lot of COVID19 to talk about, and many other things to worry about, but we want to forget about our worries for a moment. So, let us first look at the Winter Olympiad in Beijing China, then we will talk about the rest of the world, and the many problems around us. Anyhow, hereunder is a list of events and links taken from the internet about the winter Olympics at starting time. (And I quote)   

  Five ice events will be held at the Olympic Green, the Capital Indoor Stadium and the Beijing Wukesong Sports Center, which were some of the main venues of the 2008 Summer Olympics.[citation needed] The Big Air snowboarding and freestyle skiing events will be held in a former industrial area in Shijingshan District, at Western Hills area.[16] Since the end of 2009, the Beijing Olympic Village apartments on the Olympic Green have been transformed into a residential area. Therefore, there was a need to build another Olympic Village on a smaller scale for the Winter Olympics. These new buildings are located in the southern area of Olympic Green on the neighbour area of the National Olympic Sports Center.[17]

·         Beijing National Stadium – opening, awarding and closing ceremonies / 80,000 existing

19th. G. Britain 1 gold 1 silver, nil bronze =2 twentieth overall.  

----------------------  

This is the list of medals that interests me most, now we can go back to talk about Covid19 and the rest of the world trouble.

 

Talks about the COVID19.   

In the entire world including Australia, is having problems with the covid19, because it mutates and change name, but it is still the same old thing, it makes people sick and some of them die, the people in charge do what they can to advise us what to do, it helps, but it does not solve the problem entirely, so, we are all waiting to see what is going to happen next.

Anyhow, I believe that the entire world wishes that this disease disappears, so, we are all praying and hoping we can go back to a normal life during this year.

Anyhow, in Queensland at the end of February 2022 we have 560,000 positive, and 530 deaths.  

In Australia we have 3,190,000 positive and 5,160 deaths.

In the world we have 432 million positive and 5,929,000 deaths.

The authorities are talking to us, saying that people that are vaccinated are less likely to die, so, they are saying get vaccinated, but not everybody does.

Anyhow, I believe that it is up to the individual to get vaccinated, and this freedom should be coming our way.

 Now let us look at what other important things that are happening in the world, that may worry the entire world.  

-------------------------

 


Today this war in Ukraine is terrible, these things should not happen anymore, why they cannot talk it over we do not understand. We in the western world wonder, why Putin wants to occupy Ukraine, what is the reason, because we do not see any valid reason to occupy it. So, what is going on? 

What is going on in Ukraine.  

This is February 2022, and they are talking about war between Russia and Ukraine, again. Now, this issue has been going on for a while, and we hope that it does not happen, because in today’s wars there are no winners. Anyhow, a few days ago seemed that the French president Macron had talked to Putin, and all was going to be well, but today, it looks like that President Macron has lost hit time to talk to Putin, because the war is still going to happen. This is what is happening (and I quote)   

As Russia continues to move troops and equipment to the border, many Ukrainians have started to prepare for the worst.

Some are taking up arms and joining territorial defence forces, others are packing emergency bags, and a few have started to familiarise themselves with the city's bomb shelters.

The Kyiv City Council recently updated a map showing people where to find their nearest shelters in the event of an assault. (End of this quote).

Anyhow, the war has started, Putin has ordered his troops to move into these two regions of Ukraine, saying that they are there to keep peace, but the entire world wonders what else is Putin up to, so, we are all waiting to see what happens next, which very likely is going to expand and occupy the entire nation of Ukraine, and what will happen then, nobody knows.

Anyhow, just as we thought, Putin is going to invade Ukraine, this is the report on the Internet, (And I quote)    

Russian President Vladimir Putin authorised what he called a special military operation in the Donbas region but within minutes bombing was heard in the capital Kyiv.

At least four other cities have come under heavy shelling including the city of Kharkiv in the northeast, Mariupol in the southeast and in Odessa.

Russia’s defence ministry also claims the assault “neutralised” Ukraine's airbases and air defences, destroying 74 military ground facilities, including 11 airfields.

Dozens of people have been killed and hospitals are among the locations being targeted. (End of quote)

This happened a few days ago, so, after moving in these two regions easily, because there were a lot of pro-Russian people in them, since then Putin forces are trying to occupy Ukraine starting with Kyiv. But the people in Kyiv do not like the Russians, so, there is a lot of resistance, So, we must wait and see what happens next. But whatever happens it is going to be easy for both sides, you see wars are a disaster whichever way you see them, and Putin could have avoided this war, since I do not even know why Putin wants to occupy Ukraine, when he is not wanted. So, if the outcome of this war, makes Putin a less liked leader than he was before, that is what he deserves, because that war is a mistake, today the will of the people should be respected.      

--------------------

What the wars do to humanity.  

What wars bring about is only disaster, to the people of the region where the war happens, and to the soldiers that are forced to fight the war. It is a well-known fact that most soldiers are affected adversely for the rest of their lives, some of them even commit suicide. Now let us see what is happening to one of the supposed to be best solders, Ben Roberts Smith.  

The gravest question lying at the heart of the Ben Roberts-Smith defamation trial is whether the once universally lauded former soldier committed or enabled war crimes during his service in Afghanistan.

That question loomed ever larger over the hearings this week as a third military witness, Person 16, entered the witness box on Friday morning to join two previous SAS witnesses, Person 41 and Person 14, in levelling damning accusations at the Victoria-Cross recipient.

---------------------------

Now, looking at what is happening to Ben Robert Smith, we must admit that wars are the worst thing that humanity can ever do, there are no winners, people will get killed during the war, and those that survive must live with what has been done. All this makes me think that nobody should ever want to be a soldier, because it is the hardest thing one can ever do, soldiers risk their lives, so, when they are under stress, they can make mistakes. Now, to understand what I want to convey here. Humanity must learn how to avoid wars, because wars do not bring benefit to anyone, they only bring death and despair to whoever takes part in them, as you can see from what we have written above, that even the best soldiers will suffer one way or another. So, they must be avoided, may God help humanity to achieve that. 

This also applies to the war in Ukraine, or perhaps in Ukraine it is even worse, because there are a lot of civilians involved, they did not want the war and be ruled by Russia, but Putin thought that they wanted to be Russians, what a big mistake he has made? Now he has to live with it, and a lot of people will think that he is up to no good. Anyhow, this is all I can say now.  

 

Talking about the weather.

Today is the 27th of February 2022, I start wondering what has happened to the weather, in Brisbane it has been raining for a very long time, in fact for the last four days and three nights it has been raining no stop. In Queensland 6 people have lost their lives in the floods so far, it is very sad, it almost makes me cry, when they tell you that this lady volunteers to help other people, but somehow, she fell into the water and was carried away from the current and died. Today of TV some channels are continually talking about the flood, there is a lot of damage everywhere.

What we can ask here, is the weather changing because of the global warming? So, in a way we are causing these extreme weather events. If that is the case, then we must start thinking how that can be fixed.

Anyhow this diary article is becoming too long, so I better stop writing it. See you in our next article,   Health safety net fails
