TRADITIONAL MEDICINE vs MODERN MEDICINE 2008-04-03 23:44:00 Especially in Asian countries and Africa, much effective traditional medical treatment methods, good that was proven, that was not yet proven or even that could not be proven by modern medicine science.This traditional medical treatment knowledge usually is the family's inheritance that was received for generations and was exclusive and becomes part of the community's culture. Many colleagues of the doctor who sneered this traditional medical treatment method because of more of conflicts with modern medicine who has very scientific, substantial and systematic. However the fact lately, many communities that chose to take medicine in traditional medical treatment although medical medical treatment access modern was spread the area. There were various reason sorts why they chose traditio
NAIVE OR THE TRAITOR? (2) 2008-04-03 02:11:00 I agreed with the Indonesian Medical Doctor Association statement. But also must be made thinking for the better future, why did this matter happen.According to me this matter happened because of several matters that became the source of the problem, that is:The nonexistence of the acknowledgment as well as the appreciation from the government would the medical doctor's profession. The low level of the community's purchasing power to pay the doctor's service. The low level of the awareness of the community and did not yet go him the standard and good system would the health insurance.The growth for economics needs of the doctors.The competition for efforts that were increasingly tight between many pharmacy companies that must hold the doctors with that the amount a little as loyal asse
NAIVE OR THE TRAITOR? (1) 2008-04-03 01:32:00 The Republic of Indonesia government through the Health Minister, The Agency of Consumen Indonesia Foundation and several non-governmental organizations in Indonesia, several last years suspected one of the causes of the price increase of medicine of being caused by the existence of the co-operation/the contract between the pharmacy company and the doctor, to sell their products by using the doctor as outlet.This was afterwards supported also by results of closed investigation by the press from several electronic medias and the print media.Then the government dismissed the decision to take action firm each doctor who co-operated or did the contract with the pharmacy company.Many doctors in Indonesia that agreed would this matter and took part in supporting the decision of the governme
MY FAVOURITE TECHNIQUE 2008-04-02 19:44:00 While I was active in the medical world and afterwards tried to focus my self in the orthopaedic world, with all the limitations of the situation and the condition for the Indonesian people, from human resources to the economic capacity to take medicine that still was very low, I was forced to look for the way that definitely alleviated the fracture sufferers to take medicine, considering the specialist doctor's service of orthopaedic that was relatively expensive and supporting materials of the operation that still imported so as to make the medical treatment cost soar.My aim was:Gave the health service of fracture medical treatment at a cost of as minimally as possible and the service as maximally as possible.At least the medical treatment cost was maximum 50% total cost if taking medi Read more:TECHNIQUE

SINCERE PROJECT 2008-03-27 08:50:00 Uptil now the doctor's service was appointed of the doctor to work by the doctor or the place institution, so as for patients, especially the middle economic circle through to low economics, this matter made an obstacle get the appropriate and humane health service, like that was hoped for by them and was wanted by them.I had the principle, that each kind of humankind had the right to live healthily and got attention to the health as high as possible because on the basis of humanity, not on the basis of the economic capacity to pay the doctor's service and facilities that were needed.But also I was thoughtful, that medicine that was owned by me this was the gift from the Lord, so as properly has been devoted by us in the Lord's road through his group that needed scientific medical.So, wi
GENERIC MEDICINE EQUALLY GOOD WITH PATENT MEDICINE? 2008-03-27 08:15:00 Already since long before in Indonesia, when the Republic of Indonesia was still being led by President Soeharto (R.I.P), generic medicine was produced to compete with patent medicines that increasingly bounced his price.The government claimed that although generic medicine was sold with the price that was far more cheaper compared to patent medicine, but it was guaranteed was precisely the same the composition, the quality & the effect of his recuperation towards the illness.Why did that price be cheaper?According to Republic of Indonesia Health Minister, this price could be pressed because of the nonexistence of the promotion cost, so as only was counted on the raw material cost, the production cost & the transport.So as really was suggested by the doctors in order to give this
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE 5 2008-03-08 15:33:00 To avoid the medical malpractice, I appealed to colleagues, to: Obey the current regulations.Undertake medical inspection protocol in upholding the diagnosis and current medical medical treatment protocol.Established and developed relations between the patient and you as well as possible and as closely as possible. Because basically these relations were professional emotional relations.Honest in thinking and acting.Give priority to the safety and the health of your patient, not your money!Always did informed consent to our patients.Kept and undertook with utmost sincerity your Doctor's Oath.Developed always knowledge and your skills capacity. Always introspection and the evaluation your self and your work every time.Remembered, the doctor not the GOD!! All that was carried out in this wor
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE 4 2008-03-08 15:22:00 MEDICAL MALPRACTICE STATISTIC AND FACTS1. Fewer than one-half of 1% of the nation’s doctors face any serious state sanctions each year. 2,696 total serious disciplinary actions a year, the number state medical boards took in 1999, is a pittance compared to the volume of injury and death of patients caused by negligence of doctors. A recent study by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences estimated that as many as 98,000 patients may be killed each year in hospitals alone as a result of medical errors.Earlier studies also found that this was a serious national pr
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE 3 2008-03-08 15:09:00 Now in the United States during 2000, was gotten by 86,640 cases of the demand malpraktek and most were also completed finished through the mediation. (www.medicalmalpractice.com)This made the community increasingly branded the doctor as the immune profession the law. This reality definitely only did not cause a loss to the community, but could damage the doctor's profession personally.I thought really unfortunate the doctor's fate that undertook his profession that was noble.On the one hand this profession not the perpetrators of efforts because of his aim not to look for the profit only. This profession only received the "appreciation" for his efforts in curing the patient.However on the side other had the big risk that was dealt with by him if in an effort to him to cure the patient.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE 2 2008-03-08 08:49:00 The criminal demand that like that the ease to be applied to the practice doctor, appeared to eliminate the classic legal doctrine, that only culpa degrading (difficult negligence) that could be blamed on the doctor. Also criminal law, some that properly ultimum the re-medium (last final efforts), by many investigators lately like that the ease was applied as the sorting law in the beginning.On the other hand, the lawsuit immaterial without the limit, with the system contingency fee (determined the percentage produced by the lawsuit that was received for lawyer this) that was applied as the repayment of the service lawyer, will make the community fertile that be fond of sued.The story of the crisis medical malpractice in the US state, often happened in that did not apply the limit maksimum
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE 1 2008-03-08 04:01:00 Lately in Indonesia many reportings also prosecution concerning medical malpractice.Almost all of the doctor's actions that results could not have finally cured his patient, the defect, in fact died, was made the case medical malpractice.The term medical malpractice was the more inexact term, because of being a guilty presumption towards the medical profession.This guilty presumption could misused by certain sides for the interests for a moment that will damage all the orders and the system of the health service.Unfortunately, medical malpractice the medic who was the doctor's mistake in doing something or did not do something compared with standard the profession, not explicit was encountered in regulations in Indonesia.The hurling of rumours medical malpractice continually lately ought t
