The tragic News out of India, regarding the brutal Gang Rape of a 23 Year Old Woman on a Bus in New Delhi and the Outrage that it has caused reached its depressive Apex with the Report that the Woman, whose Name has intentionally not been made public (according to Indian Law) has died.

There have been massive Demonstrations of Protest in India deploring the Event although the Suspects have been arrested and the Authorities have decided to charge them with Murder. We can understand the Outrage that has been outpouring on the Streets especially since, fortunately for India, such horrific Incidents are not as frequent there as they are in some other Places.
Something else is puzzling, however. The Rape Victim was not only Gang Raped but also abused and beaten so horribly and violently (so graphically that it defies Description) that she had very little Chance of Survival. In a valiant Effort to try saving her Life the Indian Government decided to send her by Air Ambulance to Singapore for a Last Ditch Effort to save her Life.
This raises some disturbing Questions, we believe, regarding the Policies of the Indian Government and the Ethics of some of the Indian Doctors, particularly those who are no longer in India. India is the most populous Country in the World. It has an Abundance of Medical Schools which graduate an impressive Number of Medical Doctors. If India has to send a Patient of this Condition, possibly other Patients as well to Singapore because it does not have sufficient and adequate Medical Facilities for such extraordinary Cases, why is India exporting so many Doctors or allowing them to leave for other English Speaking Countries where they have an Opportunity to earn 10, 100, 1.000 or even 10.000 Times what they would earn in India and depriving itself of an Opportunity to reach a World Class Level of Medical Care?
There is a Crisis grappling many Western Countries in how to deal with the skyrocketing Costs of Medical Care. But Indian Doctors, who receive a Medical Education in India at a Fraction of what the same costs in the United States (for Example) cannot really do very much in helping solve the Medical Care Crisis in Western Countries (particularly English Speaking Western Countries, where it is easiest for Indian Doctors to obtain a Medical License). Indian Doctors can serve a far better Purpose in putting their Skills to use in India, where they have studied Medicine through vast Outlays made by the Indian Government, so that, when such horrific Incidents such as the New Delhi Bus Rape, but also other Medical Situations which require First Class Medical Care arise (and we think, they probably arise often enough) World Class Facilities would exist in India without requiring that the Patients be flown to Singapore or Goodness knows where else, or, worse yet, when the Patient is not important enough or rich enough, to just, let them die.
