RECKLESS DOCTORS

While discussing about health issues, a few of my friends talked about regular check-up such as high blood pressure and cholesterol in the government hospital. Certain doctors in selected hospitals had done something terrible. I assumed, not dedicated to their job. How is it? Well, the doctor will check the patient for the blood pressure only once and give a very high dosage of medicine to their patients. From my acknowledgement, doctors should check the blood pressure more than once and give a lower dosage coz the patients blood pressure could a bit higher coz they were rushing to the hospital. One of my friends given an advice to the doctor who treated him to lower the dosage coz he knows his body more than the doctor as he felt the doctor is giving very high dosage. The doctor was stubborn and advice my friend not to take over the doctor’s job. The other friend said that once a doctor given an extremely high dosage which made him a little dizzy for a while after taking the medicine. He quickly stops taking the higher dosage. Indeed, a caring heart is needed to be a doctor. To that extend, my friend would request for a doctor who will treat him better when he go for a check-up.

Back to the statement from the Health Minister yesterday that the government will take a step to prevent imported milk from China and the government is monitoring the situation. What took him so long to come out with the statement as the situation in China happened for days. Well, maybe the principles, "Better late than never" applied for the government in Malaysia. I personally hope no death or long term side effect from consuming the milk in Malaysia.
