Again I was invited to be one of the medical review panel by MMC. I don't know why they like to ask me to be one of the panel. I guess, I have difficulty in saying NO because not many consultants would like to take this task, trying to make recommendations for the future of these "problematic" doctors. Today, we interviewed 6 doctors who wanted to be given their full registration as a medical doctor so that they can safely practice. Out of 6 cases, only one case has truly unavoidable medical problem but the rest have psychiatric problem. Most of them have major depressive disorders or traumatic disorders. Basically they have poor coping ability towards stress and pressure at work as a doctor. In another word, they are so fragile. The job of a doctor is too much to handle. I wonder whether these doctors were exposed to the life of the doctor during their medical school days. Being a qualified doctor but not being able to do clinical work and treat patient, what do we call them? They refused to do on-call duty because too tiring and stressful. These groups of doctors are still being employed by the ministry and put them in the non-clinical areas such as resource center, CSSD, administration and take a role of a health education officer. Some of them are still on anti-depression. Worse still, some of these doctors have bipolar mood disorders and yet the psychiatrist still feel that they can perform their duties as a doctor provided they are on medication and therapy. How sure are we that they will be compliance to their medication. God only knows. The moment they have their full registration, they are free to do whatever they like out there. They already given a license to kill. It is a tough decision of the panel members to make decision on the future of these doctors. How to make our children stronger spiritually and physically probably will have to start from home. Parents play an important role in their children development. Proper up bringing is deems important and necessary to break this chain of depressive future generation of doctors.
