Differentiating doctors

There is something that have observed that is making or pushing some difference into doctors and his practice. These are different from the longer years spent in medical school, level of competence require for practice, level of trust, dedication and integrity required for practice. Also the high level of regard by the society and expectation by the society. I came up with

some.

• The Media is likely to feast on one malpractice than remember millions of treatment given to people with excellent outcome, safe deliveries of pregnant women and other excellent therapeutic intervention given globally daily.

• We are in a highly regulated “business”. The profession and practice are stringently regulated.

• To most of the patient in ER, each is likely to believe his case is the topmost emergency. Off course doctors triage!

• Taxman would always come even though in some countries doctors work is bordering on charity. No tax reduction mind you!

• There are other variables trying to influence your practice and profession-the Government, politics and public opinion etc. In fact in many countries healthcare issue is a election, and in one or two coup issues!

• Once there is a protocol, you have got to reduce some creativity on such "hard facts", good it really help a lot. It certainly works, they are evidence based.

• The “insurance man” and “Bean counters” are encroaching on the independence of physicians globally!
