It's about loss of life, stupid!

There's nothing political about it if I lament about the quality, or lack thereof, of our doctors, STUPID!

It is about loss of lives or loss of quality of lives due to the carelessness of the attending doctors, their lackadaisical attitude and/or dedication or ALL OF THE ABOVE!

For someone to tell me it is political to write or lament about the quality of doctors, I pray that you and/or your loved ones will never ever encounter a sub-quality doctor whereby because of his acts you may have to go through suffering be it physically or emotionally.

A Chinese proverb goes "If you don't experience the pain personally, you will never know the pain (of loss)"

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Mohd Zuhaili Noraihan.  His family sent a young healthy 18 year old Zuhaili to National Service only to have him returned in a coffin! 


"Medical mistakes and lapses are not acceptable options, and the consequences are too dire for society or the patient and/or their families to bear" 
Dr Quek (Malaysia Medical Association President)

"The consequences of having significant numbers of poor quality personnel in other areas of human activity may not be significant, but in healthcare, it can be a matter of life and death for all the population" Dr Milton Lum (Malaysian Medical Council)



Update : Another dead and one in ICU. For details read HERE
