Standards and Chains of Interest
The England Medical Association was not the Ministry of Truth's real target, so once they showed "remorse" and took concrete actions—such as immediately issuing a call to action throughout England demanding that all hospitals reform according to * the Lancet * standards, sending doctors to France for training, and hiring senior France doctors as council members— the Ministry of Truth ceased its pursuit of their case.
When President Edward proposed that, in order to support the development of medicine, the England Medical Association would donate £10,000 annually to the Lancet to support scientific research and popular science, and creatively proposed a "The Lancet certification," many people in the Ministry of Truth felt that this was practically one of their own.
The so-called "The Lancet certification" is primarily an accreditation of the hospital environment and the qualifications of its staff. Hospitals with healthy environments, well-trained staff, and outstanding treatment outcomes can obtain different levels of accreditation certificates recognized by the Lancet journal upon their own application.
Clearly, given the Lancet's current reputation, this certification greatly enhances the credibility of the hospitals that receive it. Any hospital that can afford it will certainly try its best to obtain the "The Lancet certification" mark. And hospitals that obtain this mark, in order to protect their own interests, will naturally side with the Lancet, or to put it more bluntly, with the Ministry of Truth.
"In this way, the entire Britain medical community will be on our side. Just as Joseph said, we've made our people many more and the enemy's few more! This Edward is a talent! Of course, Pauline, you did a really good job this time too! Tell me, what reward do you want?" Lucien asked smugly.
"Can you give me anything I want?" Pauline asked.
"As long as I can afford it."
"Alright," Pauline said decisively, "You give me Haidee."
"Pauline," Lucien frowned, "You should spend more time with the young men, instead of dressing like a man and trying to steal my mistress. Damn it... how could I have someone like you..."
"Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not!" Pauline raised her eyebrows.
"Haidee isn't an object; she's a free person with complete free will. How could I..."
Pauline immediately flashed a very gentlemanly smile, "So, you're not going to compete with me for Haidee? Hmm, that's enough. I don't believe this little girl can escape my grasp."
"Alright, Pauline!" Lucien said, "Do you have any further suggestions regarding that the Lancet certification?"
"No, you should ask Joseph about that. He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I'm busy!" Pauline said as she walked outside, but halfway there she suddenly turned back, looked at Lucien, and smiled.
"Lucien, aren't you envious that I can wear both men's and women's clothes? Hmm, if you're not convinced, I'll give you a dress to try out..."
Having gotten rid of the troublemaker Pauline, Lucien sent someone to consult Joseph about the previous issue. The messenger returned in the afternoon with Joseph's reply.
"Pauline is right, Joseph is the one with the most clever ideas!" Lucien clapped his hands in approval after reading the letter.
"The Lancet accredited hospitals can be divided into three major levels, each of which is further divided into three minor levels, resulting in a total of nine levels. Then, above the first level of the Third Estate, there is a special level that requires significant contributions to the development of medicine, making a total of three major levels and ten minor levels."
As for the classification and recognition of levels, they can be scored according to the hospital's size, technical level, equipment level, management level, and scientific research level (this requirement can be temporarily waived for primary and secondary hospitals) with certain weights. The scoring criteria must be made public so that each hospital can conduct its own self-assessment.
When setting standards, the requirements for Level 1 and Level 2 hospitals can be relatively lenient, as long as the hygiene and safety of the environment can be guaranteed and some common diseases can be treated. As for Level 3 hospitals, especially Level 1 and Special Level 3 hospitals, high standards and strict requirements must be set. It is better to have no Level 3 Special Level hospitals in the world and no Level 3 First Level hospitals in any country than to allow Level 3 hospitals to become commonplace.
Every so often, the Lancet organizes or commissions relevant institutions to review applications for accreditation, as well as those hospitals that have already been accredited. Those that meet the standards are awarded the relevant accreditation certificates. Those that previously held certificates but failed to meet the relevant standards in a new review have their accreditation revoked. The accreditation level is not permanent.
Every year after the review, the Lancet publishes a special supplement to make the review results public.
Furthermore, similar measures could also be implemented in France ...
"As expected of Joseph," Lucien said. He saw through the plan at a glance: the entire Britain, no, the entire Europe, healthcare system would be tied to France once a single system was implemented.
For a hospital that has painstakingly obtained "The Lancet accreditation," this accreditation becomes a valuable intangible asset. They will naturally cherish and protect this asset. Therefore, any attack on France that might threaten the value of this intangible asset is an attack on them, and the person launching such an attack is naturally their enemy.
Everyone who acquires assets hopes for their value to appreciate. The "The Lancet certification" is also an asset, albeit an intangible one; it too can appreciate or depreciate. Those who possess such an asset certainly want this intangible asset to grow, so they will actively promote this honor everywhere, desperately seizing every opportunity to praise the authority of the Lancet, and shouting at anyone who dares to doubt it, "Idiot! France medicine is the best in the world!"
"In addition to hospitals, we should also provide corresponding technical certifications for doctors, such as assistant physicians, resident physicians, attending physicians, associate chief physicians, and chief physicians. The number and proportion of physicians with the corresponding qualifications in a hospital will also affect its score in the 'The Lancet Hospital Accreditation'."
Upon seeing this, Lucien couldn't help but exclaim, "Black, damn black!"
In this way, the interests of almost all doctors are tied to the Ministry of Truth. They have essentially become friends of the Ministry of Truth. And doctors are a group with extensive connections to all levels of society. If this group as a whole is pro-Falun Dafa, it can inspire more people to be pro-Falun Dafa. Our people will increase, and our enemies will decrease.
"No wonder Mencius said, 'Those who possess the truth will gain widespread support; those who violate the truth will gain very little support.' No wonder Joseph insisted on naming our department the Ministry of Truth. I think the campaigns we waged through propaganda are almost as significant as the victories Napoleon won on the battlefield." Lucien praised himself inwardly and bestowed upon himself the title of "Grand Marshal."
"Unfortunately, Napoleon certainly won't actually give me the rank of 'Grand Marshal'." Lucien couldn't help but shake his head, then picked up a piece of paper and began drafting a new document.
In Britain, the storm sparked by the latest issue of the Lancet continues to intensify.
For some time, the newspapers of the England Free Press Alliance had been thoroughly outmatched by the England News Alliance, with all sorts of titles and accusations raining down on them. The more moderate and accommodating major newspapers called them "friends of the France" and "Britain supporters of France theory," while the more acerbic and nationalist tabloids labeled them "traitors," " sellouts," and "France spies"... and rumors about them taking francs were rampant.
But now, the situation has completely reversed, with the media outlets under the England Free Press Alliance launching a full-scale counterattack. Especially after researchers at University of Cambridge confirmed that the content published in the Lancet was verifiable and reproducible, and that more pathogens had been discovered, the entire situation has become completely different.
Those major newspapers that should be mindful of their integrity are one thing; they merely satirize the Tory Party and their media for their lack of scientific literacy, suggesting they need some serious reworking. Then they sing praises of University of Cambridge, commending University of Cambridge scholars for their rigorous scientific attitude and pragmatic scientific spirit. They point out that the actions of University of Cambridge scholars have raised the level of science and civilization in England, making them the true patriots. As for those who indiscriminately sing praises of England's shortcomings without any regard for facts, claiming to be patriots, they are simply defiling the sacred word "patriot."
Those tabloids, lacking or even willing to compromise their principles, were far less moderate. Some followed the line of the major newspapers, labeling the Tory Party and members of the England News Alliance as "patriotic hooligans." Others propagated their previously proposed conspiracy theories, suggesting that the Britain government intended to use this method to "solve the problem of the poor who have no more exploitable value." One tabloid even went so far as to declare, "Today's Britain is not Britain for the people, but only Britain of an 'axis of evil' composed of nobles and big bosses!" Furthermore, in subsequent reports, whenever Britain was mentioned, they replaced the word "Britain" with "your country." One newspaper, the * England Liberation Newspaper *, even proclaimed. "'England' is a deception, because the working people have no country!"
