Short explanation about history in Brazil...and why doctors should not come to Brazil!

What is going on in Brazil? The first street massive occupation was the brazilian demand for fair price to public transportation. It would increase 0,20 BRL but, after 10 days of intense popular protests, the price still the same in Sao Paulo City 3,00 BRL.

Well, it is not historically that brazilians go marching on streets for some causes. He had the "Cara Pintadas" *painted faces, they were important voice against a former brazilian president  "Fernando Collor" who was suffered the impechment process.

Still looking back, I was born during a strong dictatorial government. Hard times of repressions, censure and violent murders made by police against regular population, Not regular population, but just brains that could work for democratic country.

Now, we can voted directly for president, majors, senate and senators. Economy is fair more stable then 15 years ago - when I could have chocolate just in special days. Problems old and new still existing, but it is stupid to not agree that we have better life quality. We are a huge country, diverse culture, weather and education - how to be fair to all?

At least education and health should be priority in this moments. Not sure Dilma's actions lately will turn in real improvements.
The need of medical doctors in some areas of the country, is one issue... but it is one problem insert in a more complex scenario. When you don't have a single medications to help... or clean water, basic tests, or when the population don't have their own toothbrush *(all the family share one, that spread hepatites...) - no doctor likes to see that! Any good physician hates to see their patients dying for stupid reasons. You can fight against it, ... again, you need political power to do it. After a few years, you got a bit tired... and you as a doctor enjoy to see a patient getting better.

HIV and Brazilian Reality

Do you know a HIV positive person?

Data for brazilian healthy agency from 2008: 28,8 AIDS patients per 100.000 habitants. It's higher in some regions almost 55 SIDA patients for 100.000 habitants.
Considere that AIDS is the manifestation of HIV infection, and it can stay quite silence for long time... the real number of HIV positive is higher... there is no risk groups anymore and the number of women with infection has increasealy.

Just to let you know...
