Medical Negligence

Agree?

I would agree more than anyone else!

I have never thought of it until I visited a couple of health forums from the Western World. All the while I thought Back in Malaysia, we are not so educated on the subject health but I was wrong.

In fact I had the bad experience while my little sweety daughter was born in 1997. She had high fever when she was about 1 month old. We brought her to the hospital for check-up on her condition. The doctor was young and had no experience.

Upon seeing her condition, they went on to investigate her because she had some flowery look patterns on her legs and thighs. They carried on with some extraction of blood samples which was the usual stuff.

Subsequently they went 1 step further by getting my permission to extract some marrow to do some test. I didn't know what that was but the question to me was really a shock. Why on earth do they need that sample for? But I gave them the permission because all i wanted was for my daughter to recover. I was never doubtful about their ability.

My little 1 month old scream like never before during the ordeal. After that I went over to ask the Doctor all the What, Why and How stuff. I realize and I suspected they were trying to use my daughter as a guinea pig. They suspected she was having some kind of virus infection. I was so mad! I didn't want the doctors to carry on with the rubbish test and I left the hospital with my wife and baby.

I went over to have a second opinion from a well know pharmacist. Upon looking at my baby he said nothing is wrong with her but just a normal fever. She looks perfectly normal from all angles. The Pharmacist prescribe her with some fever solution. From that day everything was fine with her.

We learned a lesson from that day onwards. We started to use our guts to determine our family's' health. We knew that doctors are not all the time right. We may not need to heed the doctor's advise if we find something is not making up the puzzle in the right form.

The experience in real life for my little baby is not that serious but sad to say for some other cases, something even worst could happen. Not only in this part of the world but for a lot to the developed world too.

Medical Negligence is nothing new. Awareness is important to cross check on the doctors.. read more here....

Avoiding the much dreaded FEAR: Rape

Psychology Point of View of Rape Cases from the Convicts.


A case study of Convicts being carried out to survey "the clues" that led to RAPE.

To the astonishment of many, there are a certain criteria that most Rape Cases happen with the potential Rapist would look out for:-

1) The Victim having long or pony tailed hair. The reason being easier to grab the victim with less scuffle.

2) The Rapist would normally attack the Victim during early morning between 5am to 8am.

3) Normally the Rape will take place in a secondary scene nearby where the Victim is near.

4) Rapist would look for those who wear clothes that are easily taken off for their convenient.

5) The Rapist would look for the victim who are caught off guard like when they are on their mobile phones.

6) A Major Retaliation with the Rapist would normally discourage them to proceed further cause they would not want to cause alarm.

7) Catching a good look at the stranger or being in an attentive manner would discourage them to take action. They would not want to be identified in the parade line in the event if they are caught.

8) Having some long object like umbrella would make the Rapist think twice before the action.

9) Psychological words shouted to the would be Rapist like "STOP", "POLICE" and "HELP" would help to deter them from the crime. They just want to look for helpless victim!

Leptospirosis

Unbelievable but True

There was this woman who took a can of soft drink like any other person.

But no one has ever thought the can could take her life apart...

She was admitted to ICU the very next day. Doctors had no clue to what had happened to her. While the doctors were analyzing more test the next couple of days, her condition turned for the worst. She died after 2 days.

Upon post mortem, she died of Leptospirosis.

Investigator traced the origin to the can of soft drink that she took earlier.

They found some traces of dried rat urine on the emptied can.

Apparently she did not clean the top part of the soft drink can and that was the consequences.

Case studies conducted by NYCU reveal that soft drink cans sometimes can be as contaminated as a toilet bowl.

Please take precaution so as not to fall for sickness from self negligence.
