If we are to prioritize science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (i.e., STEM) pursuant to medical and biomedical education, training, and practice, then it is essential to do so in ways that genuinely appreciate and apprehend these pursuits as human enterprises that are devised and articulated, and impact the boundaries of human culture and its societies. In other words, we must ground STEM education to the reality that STEM – as contributory to medicine, and like medicine itself – are human endeavors for and within the sphere of humanity, human conduct, and human ecology. We opine that to meet the opportunities, benefits, challenges, and burdens generated by the study, development, and use of STEM in real-world scenarios, education must not only be multi-disciplinary, but must engage the natural, physical, and social sciences as well as the humanities in an integrative model that 1) obtains a solid foundation in humanitarian sensitivities, 2) engages knowledge of STEM to address the challenges of modern medicine enacted on a global scale, and 3) entails the humanities and social sciences to assess and direct the value and utility of STEM (as constituents of medical practice) within current culture, and as means to shape health, culture, and societies of the future.

You've been in a wreck. You're injured. You need medical care. The doctor's office says they won't accept your health insurance, and the auto insurance company for the at-fault driver won't pay your medical bills (or maybe they won't even return your calls). What do you do? Auto liability insurance does not work like health insurance. They are not going to pay your medical bills as you go along. The auto insurance company expects you to go out and get all the medical care you need. Then, when you've completed all of your medical care, they want you to gather your medical bills and ask for reimbursement in one lump sum. That's right. You only get one bite at the apple. It's a one time settlement payment. And you cannot go back later and ask for additional money if your injuries turn out to be worse than you thought.

This business law article describes One Person Company. It is essentially a legal entity which functions on the same principle as a Company, but with only one member and one shareholder. It was an alternative for Indians, who typically operate using the risky concept of a proprietorship. OPC will give greater flexibility to an individual or a professional to manage his business efficiently and at the same time enjoy the benefits of a company. Company law experts see a rise in registrations of one-person companies once the Bill is enacted into law. The concept of OPC will also help many foreign companies, which need to appoint a minimum of two nominees now when they form a wholly-owned subsidiary. OPC will open the avenues for more favourable banking facilities, particularly loans, to such proprietors. Besides, legal article tells that the concept will boost flow of foreign funds in India as the requirement of nominee shareholder would be done away with.
