WHAT OVER SUPPLY?!
More foreign docs to fill big hole in gov't hospitals. http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/148733
In efforts to overcome the shortage of medical officers in the country, the government is hiring more doctors from abroad, including from Egypt and Pakistan, to work in government hospitals, said Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai.

Where does that leaves the current and future batch of Bolehland's graduated docs?

PETALING JAYA: The number of medical housemen undergoing clinical training in most government hospitals has increased and this has given rise to concern that they may not get sufficient experience.

With new medical schools opening up locally and lower fees being offered at new institutions abroad, around 4,000 Malaysian medical students are expected to graduate annually from 350 universities all over the world in the coming years.

Senior Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) consultant physician Datuk Dr S. Jeyaindran said each specialist was supervising four times as many housemen compared to a decade ago.

“Five years ago, one houseman looked after 10 patients in hospital wards at any one time but now it is one to four patients,” said Dr Jeyaindran, who is HKL department of medicine head and national head for medicine at the Health Ministry.

“The concern is that these interns are seeing fewer patients and hence, have fewer opportunities to carry out adequate procedures. In some hospitals, there are more housemen than patients.”

Dr Jeyaindran said they were not only concerned about the increase in numbers but also their attitude.

“Some lack responsibility towards their patients,” he said, adding that there were also those who did not know how to give an accurate diagnosis and relied too much on investigative tools instead of clinical skills and getting the proper patient history.

Malaysian Medical Council ethics committee chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Hamid Abdul Kadir said several specialists had expressed concern about the large numbers and training hospitals were finding it difficult to cope.

“In the past, it was five housemen in each department but now it could be 20 to 30 for each department,” he said, adding that some specialists were overburdened by the workload.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the ministry was aware of the issue and would be increasing the number of training hospitals.

He said the ideal ratio should be one specialist supervising five housemen with one houseman taking care of 14 hospital beds depending on discipline.

There were 38 hospitals providing training to more than 3,058 housemen last year.

However, the number increased to the current 6,253 housemen since the ministry increased the duration of housemanship from one year to two.

“This led to most hospitals, including those in Sabah and Sarawak, having an excess of housemen,” he said.

Hospitals that were chosen must be able to cater to six areas in which housemen need training – medical, surgical, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedic and accident, and emergency, he said.

Liow also said that they would be getting 58 contract specialists from Egypt, India and Pakistan next month to help supervise housemen and reduce the burden of the specialists now.

He also said that the ministry had taken steps to overcome the lack of experience among housemen by making training compulsory for two years instead of one.

Too many new doctors and too few hospitals to train them
sos @ the star.

anyone here from MAHSA physio ? need help

The ones hanging around in this thread are mostly medical students/medical doctors...

are you one of them ?

Limeuu, come see this blog. It is an example or rather an evidence that it is bad for patients to ignore doctors' advice.

Basically here is the story:

The female patient is a teacher by occupation, had been diagnosed with kidney cancer on her left kidney about 1 year ago. She was scheduled to be operated to remove the malignancy in a govt. hospital, but due to the influence and 'advice' by friends and family members - she opted to have the "scarless and painless surgery" done by JOHARI MANSOR in PUSAT RAWATAN KERATON instead.

I came across her uploaded "surgery" video in Youtube around september 2009 and commented about the fraud/deceit of such "surgery" to her. She condemned me instead for doing so. (see below for her comments - click spoilers)






Original video:


She was apparently healthy for awhile (psychological factor? placebo effect? who knows) but less than 1 year after the apparently "miraculous surgery" she was again re-admitted into the hospital because of her "apparently removed tumour" was still there and now has become even worse than before. She had a REAL operation this time - but even then, according the her doctors - her future is uncertain.

I have arranged the blog entries in chronological order for all of you medical students and doctors to read and learn something out of this:
