European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 29, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page it Ann Landers dear Ann Landers 1 am a fourth year medical Stu Dent and i wonder How Man people understand How difficult in is to become a doctor. If they did i doubt that hey would be so eager to jump on the bandwagon to condemn the medical Community which is he Best in the world. I have been in school for eight years four years of grueling competitive undergraduate stud ies Hen four years of medical school thai can be de scribed Only As demanding and difficult. There arc no shortcuts. We must learn As much As possible because in is human life that we will eventually be responsible for. After graduation 1 will Enier a four year residency program. This Means another Long and difficult climb. Finally when i am 31,1 will be Able to do what 1 have wanted to do for a very Long Lime be a competent and compassionate physician. In addition to the Lime i have invested in preparing for my career i have sacrificed much in terms of financial advancement living on ,000 a year after paying $8,000 a year in tuition always borrowed while in school. This is below the poverty level for this nation. I am a College graduate tops in my class and while my Peers Are raving their second or third child or buying a Home i am trying to find the Money to buy a suit so i will look presentable. I have no qualms about How difficult this journey has been but i Resini it when 1 hear people begrudge doctors i hair Nice cars and vacations to the Caribbean believe me those doctors arc far behind Many of their Peers. It s almost As if they have loss 10 years of their lives. Why is it thai no one bats an Eye when a 11-year-Oldboxer can have a net Worth of s50 million but when a doctor gets 1100,000 for keeping people healthy and saving lives they resent it got an answer Annie Hock Don t look at me. I m on your Side. Some of my Best friends Are doctors. A greater con Cernia How Tang the medical profession can survive the greed of lawyers and their murderous malpractice suits. That r the big question today. You have written very Good letter and i am pleased to print it. Dear Ann Landers our son has not called me Mother since he was in Grade school. He has never in his life called his father "dad.",.arthur married recently and his wife never Calls me anything either although when we first i asked her to please Call me by my first name. Arthur and his wife Are 30 years of age. They arc both educated and successful in business. Should i make an Issue of ii nameless in Akron dear Alt pick the appropriate moment when you Aie atone with your son and his wife and Tell them exactly How you feel. Do it in a Low key non accusatory Way emphasizing How much in would please you. I would t be surprised it they honoured your request. Sometimes ill in takes h in Tell people exactly what is on your mind. Learann Landers i am tired of going to weddings and hearing i now pronounce you Man and for heaven s Sake god. Already pronounced him a Man when he was born. This person is about to become a husband. Why Don t the clergymen say so bugged ".,. In Barstow Calif. Dear bugged most of them do now. You be been going to the wrong weddings a Hll Lila a a n. Reader Calls for better understanding i just finished Reading the stars and stripes Arti Cle concerning the air Force a-10 Jet crash in rems Chrid on dec. 8. In was very tragic. I feel sorry for the civilians who died or were injured in the crash. However what really makes me mad is that Nei ther the German government nor the German Mili tary came out and explained to the German people Why we the american military Are Here in Ger Many. It appears to me from Waishing German television or talking to some of the locals thai they have the impression the a-10 intentionally crashed into the town. Americans Don l like to die or be in aircraft accidents but accidents happen Hanx Jouben Vogel head of the opposition social democrats was quoted in the article As saying there is just no longer any reason to train As if we Are on the Brink of War the article also mentioned a German defense ministry poll indicating that Many West germans no longer consider the Warsaw pact to be a serious Mili tary threat. If the Warsaw pact countries Are of no threat to Germany Why Aren t some of the thousands of Immi Grants from Poland East Germany and Russia inter viewed and asked Why they wanted out of the War saw pact countries obviously they thought in was better to leave their Homes and come lowest Germany at any Price. Now in finally dawns on me Why the German government does not want to have an television seen by the German people they fear they might be brainwashed like we Are on Why we re Here doing our Job and protect ing the free wot id Etc. They Don t want the people to hear the truth thai the americans Are needed Here in Wesl Germany to show the Warsaw pact countries that we Are ready for War and for them to think twice about attacking West Germany or any other nato country. We Are All in this together. Quit blaming the americans for everything Hal goes wrong chief warrant officer 4 Brad Ford Mannheim went Germany moslem says Don t Call us All terrorists i have been Reading the stars and stripes for the last eight months and i have read articles that i have found to be rather disturbing. These articles arc the ones referring to the hostage situation in Lebanon and the Philippines and their kidnappers. These disgusting creatures the kidnappers rather than being referred to As terrorists have been labelled As moslem we Here in saudi Arabia have also been affected by these fanatics during the Haj festival and some saudi diplomats were taken hostage by iranian terrorists in Lebanon there arc More than 50,000 american citizen living in saudi Arabia where the islam religion originated and they Are treated like saudi citizens i not better. So please print this letter to emphasize the Point hat other moslem around the world like myself do not wish to be and will never be associated wit these terrorists. In other words please do not Lar us All with Amul Zabai Conail do or Nab kingdom of saudi Arabia reminder of How quickly people forget being stationed in England i am fortunate to have chess to Quality news Broaca acres 10 broadcasts via the bbl off base and Cable news network on base. Recently the news has been dominated by the earthquake in soviet Armenia i must admit in is encouraging to see the nations of the world overcoming their political differences to come to the Aid of people in need. In is interesting to once Agai n observe the Power of the Media however. It would seem there is not a person on Earth who base l seen or heard of Floc devastation in Armenia my Only question is How Many people saw or heard about the 655,000 people killed in the 1976 earthquake in China s Hope province i suppose the argument Here would be the chinese did t want the world to know or perhaps it s just a reflection of How quickly we forget.
