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.

PPLSS & DOCTOR 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 !”
