Logging on to "The Spine"


Every morning for the last week, I have started the day with the above message on the computer screen.

I hate it.

I know I am a dinosaur, but I hate it.

I do not want to log onto "The Spine”. I do not want to feed information on my patients to the government.

Until 1997 I could send my patients to any hospital in the country. There was real freedom of choice. Over ninety percent of my patients chose to go to the local hospital and over ninety five percent of my patients followed my recommendation as to choice of hospitals.

They still do. Nothing has changed.

I have gone through the ritual of offering them the “choice” of one of three hospitals. Mostly, they are not interested. One or two want to go to hospitals not on the prescribed list. I am no longer free to sent them there. There is no real freedom of referral. There is no real choice.

And all the time, the government is collecting personal data. Not from me, though.

I am not going to do it. I will not log onto “The Spine”.

You will get a beautiful cloth which in the game if we want to need the beautiful cloth, we can use our own Scions Of Fate gold to buy. The one I owned on my character is one of my friends sent to me the necessary SOF gold. Sometimes we can share the trophy as the necessary Scions Of Fate money together, and we do quest together. I do not have enough confidence and cheap SOF gold about my weak memory. First I have to buy sof gold to improve my pet which I have a lovely leopard in this game.
