Now what? Did I hear, SPDC saying,

>``Myanmar medical authorities are concerned, however, that Mr Aris 
>might not be able to receive proper medical care in Myanmar, and >that 
he might put an undue burden on the country's limited medical 
>facilities."...?
 ....
Are they crazy? Well, then what are they talikg about? 

Look no further. Here are the truths.

In the first place, Dr Aris is not trying to get a vias to Burma to seek 
for medical care and SPDC very well knew about that. Did anyone, Daw 
Aung San Suu Kyi or even Daw Khin Kyi ( Daw Suu's mother) ever seek any 
the country's intensive care facilities before?

So, why waste the time beating around the bush. Just tell the world what 
actually is in your mind, SPDC. SPDC just could not tell the truth and 
they never will.
