Well why doesn't the doctor himself give a second alternative? If there are two possible ways of fixing a thing and one suggests the costlier option, people are definitely going to doubt his/her intentions. And public's anger, it's not just coming out of nowhere. They are seeing it day in day out. You went on wrote a blog to voice your opinion. That guy also did the same thing. It's just that more people can connect to his case.dibyaranjannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130252777937178180.post-15874222312061920842013-12-30T18:09:13.018-08:002013-12-30T18:09:13.018-08:00Thanks for sharing .Thanks for sharing .dryogeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156997073270931582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130252777937178180.post-9403690465920596642013-11-27T07:22:19.630-08:002013-11-27T07:22:19.630-08:00Dr acharya, While i agree with you that social med...Dr acharya, While i agree with you that social media should not be used to defame by naming doctors, in this particular case, instead of jumping straight to surgical options if the doctor concerned had suggested a gravity lateral view(well described and published) and then if unstable it would have been less controversial. Of late in India it has become fashionable to say surgery every time somebody walks in. it just shows how much these doctors are exposed to best practices while training- no offence but training goes both ways.i am aginst spoon feeding. the students of late(at risk of generalisation!!) i see are more inclined to amassing wealth rather than the hard path of knowledge acquisition and srikanthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130252777937178180.post-16006654770341634312013-11-25T22:22:55.741-08:002013-11-25T22:22:55.741-08:00People are talking about a lot of things on social...People are talking about a lot of things on social networking sites -- nations, politicians, cricketers, companies. Does it mean that all these posts are trying to defame someone / somebody? and that a lawsuit be filed against all of them? Does one have the right to put forth his opinion, ideas and experiences on social networking sites? No relation to any comment made by anyone. Some simple queries to a man of respect.

Agreed, there may be a difference of opinion and there may be cases when every treatment has pros and cons and the doctor has to take a call. But do you think the profession is really above board and favouring the patients? Day in day out, cases of wilful "negligence", luring attendants for surgery which could have been otherwise elective, prolonged hospitalization, prescribing costlier medicines under pressure of pharma companies are seen in life. What if you do not agree with this on public platform but in private, the doctors bitch each other for such things.

Patient definitely has the right to a second opinion. As doctors we respect that. However, with the social network sites at fingertips, one should not venture into defaming the doctor. Also, never lose the time frame in the treatment of a patient...many deaths have taken place, many complications result due to delay in treatment. Any busy surgeon encounters about 10 % of his patients, visiting him with the sole intention of "second/third" opinions. It has even led to the birth of a terminology "shopping for treatment". <br />3. Remember that the doctor is trained and groomed to give the "best possible treatment".Dr Kiran K V Acharyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107335026333245029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130252777937178180.post-21789044681395214032013-11-25T10:08:44.687-08:002013-11-25T10:08:44.687-08:00Recently my Uncle was admitted in 'X' hosp...Recently my Uncle was admitted in 'X' hospital & Doctor's decided to amputate both the legs.

Blind Faith which patients once had on their treating doctors.<br /><br />So, the picture is bigger and the work required to change this picture is big too.Small steps like creating this blog to put an explanation forwards is important as well.It depicts sense of responsibility and that truth prevails.<br /><br />But in all honesty we all know Medical Professionals have to do extra to win their people's trust and one of those things is to LISTEN to their patients and treat them as individuals not just the disease.<br /><br />-RohiniRohinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335840308879204956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2130252777937178180.post-64424145006243966632013-11-24T21:04:02.259-08:002013-11-24T21:04:02.259-08:00Well stated, Dr. Acharya.
