violence in medical field

[Suvash]

these days the news of hot arguments and fights between the patient party and the docors are frequently heard, especially after the jana aandolan these issues have increased so much. i wonder whether its because the doctors have make more mistakes or is it that the public have become blind and they have started acting wild what so ever small an issue is. and it may be that the media is highlighting the issues unnecessarily giving extra highlights to the small issues and blowing up the scandals...
so what do you guys say?
why are we hearing so many cases of violence in our field these days?

ignorance & illitracy and lack of respect to the humanity.

in western countries most of the medical universities are teaching communication skills to the medical student and doctors which is showing promising result don't know when medical educationist realize this thing and will implement in the medical education in nepal.

ya its a bitter truth that people are getting more and more violent these days.. some evil minded people are making use of the strength of these blind people.. there dont seem to be any strict rules and regulations especially after the so callled successful jana aandolan, people believe that they can do anything, anywhere and anytime.. there is notthing like a law... so i think the leaders need to do something and control and give direction to the mass or nothing can be said for sure....

i think, may be people have become more conscious, more than what it should be, and may be it is the reason why they are trying to manhandle every doctors... whatever the cause the doctors need a specific protection for this,

this is not only the issue, also the hike in theft and burglary nowadays questions seriously over the existing state of security in the country itself,

what more to talk about the killing of ayurvedic doctor day before yesterday, i personally think we're heading towards lathalinga tantra,, the bonus nepali people have got with lok tantra!!!!

"...Quality of diagnosis and treatment plays a role, but more importantly, patients value access and communication with their doctor; a doctor who is supportive, caring, and compassionate; follow-up on test results; quality facilities; and a friendly office staff."
"Sometimes we doctors are so caring, so well trained, and so efficient that we can quickly identify a problem and know exactly what to prescribe. When we do that, though, the patient may feel that we were uncaring and that we didn't take the time to do a proper examination or consider the best course of treatment. It's not enough to just be caring and technically expert; the doctor also has to make the effort to communicate that care and empathy to their patient and to provide a uniformly excellent medical experience. When doctors do that, patients are more satisfied. They are also more trusting and adherent to medication -- they actually do better clinically -- not to mention being less likely to sue! By measuring their patients' satisfaction, doctors gain the information they need to assure patients the best possible medical care experience."
