11. PRACTICE OF MEDICINE
OFTEN SMOOTH
ENJOYABLE
REWARDING
BUT
ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN TO
ANY ONE AT ANY TIME

12. Doctors are no more
Considered as
Saviours of mankind
But as Technicians
Lending their expertise
For a fee.

13. 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.

14. But now every patient demands painless convalescence,
Early mobilisation and
Perfect functional recovery
Without any cosmetic damage.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. Many resort to defensive practice.
Defensive Practice exclates cost of Medi Care
Increases treatment cost
Increases Patients distrust and suspicion on the Doctors.

18. 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.

19. ETHICAL PRACTICE

35. 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 !”
