Title: Tip: Try not to get an operation or really sick in April
Post by: caligula on July 03, 2013, 09:35:18 AM

Sa mga nasa Pilipinas, as much as possible, hwag magpapaopera o macoconfine sa hospital sa buwan ng Abril. Sa US and Canada, try not to go to the hospital in July for treatment.

The reason: mortality rate goes up during these months due to influx of inexperienced doctors. During summer, that is when newly graduates become intern, interns become residents and residents become fellows. Sa ibang salita, marami sa kanila ang nangangapa pa rin at nasa learning curve on how hospitals operate. The result is a dramatic increase in fatal medication errors.

A sad truth, but how will interns become great doctors if they are not training with real patients?

Really? Mas risky gumamot ang bagong graduates. Maganda siguro isabak muna sila sa mas lighter na operations sa hospital bago sila humawak ng isang major case na patient.. thanks for some tip.

Hindi naman siguro lahat ng newly grads ay newly grads,may mga utak din naman sila kahit papano,ang mga magagaling na mang gagamot ay nag umpisa rin sa pagiging newbie... Baguhan man sila meron namang mas magaling sa kanila na pwede nilang pagtanungan just in case na medyo alanganin sila sa kanilang disisyon..

well, such interventions apply. Although sa tagal ng medicine and upon readiness kailangan talaga mangyari ang tulad ng ganyan. Guided naman sila and major cases need rigorous training and certification upon doing. Sa pilipinas you could make a written agreement that you will not be touched by a student or a trainee upon interventions and even admissions if you like. We want to be as safe possible to do our job but we also want to spread our philosophy and skills to others. Human error is not an excuse, that's why our licenses are on the line, but a sad truth is that it will happen again for sometime. Even veteran doctors and other health practitioners do mistakes to be honest. It's just a matter of trust and cooperation.

ang alam ko especially sa operation, interns are just observers. at pagdating naman sa patient check-up, they are still under the supervision of the resident doctors.... perhaps go to the doctor whom we know is the best choice if we really need to have a check-up
