PRACTICE OF MEDICINE

OFTEN SMOOTH

ENJOYABLE

REWARDING

BUT

ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN TO

ANY ONE AT ANY TIME

Doctors are no more

Considered as

Saviours of mankind

But as Technicians

Lending their expertise

For a fee.

Now quality conscious has increased among patients.

Initially when a patient approached a doctor for treatment, he was prepared to accept recovery with residual damage.

He didn’t complain then.

• But now every patient demands painless convalescence,

• Early mobilisation and

• Perfect functional recovery

• Without any cosmetic damage.

If his high expectations are not met, his disappointment know no boundary and

Is ready to blame the doctor.

This disrupts the Doctor - Patient harmony and lays the foundations for a Medico - Legal dispute.

When a Doctor receives a NOTICE

He becomes upset and panicky.

... Reputation is at stake.

When Wealth is lost, Nothing is lost

When Health is lost, Something is lost

When Reputation is lost, everything is lost

.. Compensation given on compassionate grounds

.. Disproportionate Amount of compensations.

Many resort to defensive practice.

Defensive Practice exclates cost of Medi Care

Increases treatment cost

Increases Patients distrust and suspicion on the Doctors.

PPLSS Scheme was launched to give the Doctors a sense of security to practice medicine with full confidence.

Enrollments of nearly 3500 members within three years testimonies the purpose, progress and future of this Scheme.

YOU CAN NEVER PREDICT

WHICH PATIENT SHALL TURN LITIGANT

BUT YOU CAN PROTECT

Can any doctor ask

“What IMA has done for me”

here afterwards ?

A doctor towards the end of his Career

Turned back to look at his path !

He saw two pairs of foot prints

Whenever he was happy;

And saw only one pair of foot print

Whenever he was in trouble.

He asked PPLSS “You promised to accompany;

Where were you when I needed you most?”

PPLSS replied “Foot prints were Mine;

I carried you thro’ those days !”

PPLSS & DOCTOR

Let us say no to female feticide

Thank

you
