"To err is human" is cliche, but surely there are certain protocols and checklists which surgeons in particular observe before procedures are started.

QUOTE(limeuu @ Jan 10 2013, 05:08 PM) that case by datuk hii has no basis.....he was appropriately advised, and was given the option of follow up assessment....he took the option to proceed for surgery... Having worked in the Hospital with the least Whipple's complication rate in Australia, I have encountered several Whipple's patients that ended up not having pancreatic cancer. Seems like it is not uncommon for people to go ahead and resect the lesions seen in pancreas.steve job's situation may have influenced his decision..... i doubt if the court will allow it to proceed.... Hopefully there is no case. This post has been edited by tqeh: Jan 10 2013, 10:18 PM |

this may be a good opportunity for medical students here to read a bit about neuroendocrine tumours in the pancrease and the issues involved in their treatment.
once you understand the issues, you will understand why sometimes (not infrequently, as tqeh noted) this happens. it is NOT wrong diagnosis, but just demonstrates the difficulties in predicting what the future may be......like many things in human lives, a judgement call is needed, and it can NEVER be always correct, unlike the check list for an aircraft.....

Interesting news~
QUOTE Pelanggan terkejut caj cabut gigi RM300 sebatang Posted on January 11, 2013, Friday MAHAL: Yong menunjukkan resit untuk perkhidmatan mencabut gigi yang diberikan kepadanya. MIRI: Orang ramai yang ingin mendapatkan khidmat perawatan gigi termasuk mencabut gigi di klinik-klinik swasta perlu meneliti terdahulu harga yang ditawarkan bagi setiap perkhidmatan agar mereka rasa tidak tertipu atau melebihi bajet mereka. Dalam dua minggu kebelakangan ini sahaja ada dua aduan diterima oleh pihak akhbar daripada pengguna yang mendakwa mereka ‘ditipu’ dengan caj yang terlalu mahal dikenakan, selepas gigi mereka dicabut. Dalam kes terbaru pada 9 Januari lalu, seorang gadis berusia 19 tahun dari Batu Niah yang cuba mendapatkan khidmat mencabut gigi di bandar raya ini, terkejut apabila dia dikenakan caj yang di luar jangkaannya. Gadis yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Yong, telah datang ke Miri untuk khidmat mencabut gigi di sebuah klinik swasta dan terkejut apabila dia ditunjukkan bil berjumlah RM300 selepas giginya dicabut. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Read more: http://www.theborneopost.com/2013/01/11/pe.../#ixzz2HfWylcZs I quote: "“Ini kerana perkhidmatan dalam bidang perubatan tidak ada harga yang standard dan tiada peraturan untuk itu, setakat ini,” kata jurucakap jabatan, ketika dihubungi...." so... private dental practitioners don't need to adhere to any regulations on dental fees? no guidelines from MDC? RM300 per tooth extraction, RM390 for filling teeth~ Some private dentists are going over their head already? - free2 get highlighted in newspaper~ This post has been edited by CyberSetan: Jan 11 2013, 08:34 PM |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Jan 11 2013, 10:40 PM) Most Malaysians don't know the huge price gap, if it was advertised, perhaps they will and go for a holiday at the same time... Dental Tourism~I don't think it will ever be advertised here in Malaysia... its counter-productive to our own 'medical/dental tourism'~ I know I would go there for bunch of dental treatments + holiday at the same time~ This post has been edited by CyberSetan: Jan 11 2013, 10:49 PM |

Just to add.
Cucms has apparently revised their medical school fee from 200k to 375k for the entire 5 year program. 75% increase of cost Pending accreditation from MQA after the fiasco some more. I am starting to think that Med school now are meat grinders to earn money, instead of really educating. |

Let's pretend I'm naive but apparently, I still do have faith in humanity.Oh well, 375k for an education. Inflation's rate at 4% roughly now. In 5 years time, it would balloon up to around 500k just for a degree.... |

A little correction :-It's alright, it's much cheaper than overseas. MUCH cheaper. 1st batch already out. It is just that because of the fiasco last time, the accreditation was changed to a 5 year by year approval my MQA. So, they are technically not fully accredited yet. Might as well I top up another 30k and go IMU |
