Dealing with seniors

Dealing with seniors at DHQ,THQ and RHC
This question came up very often i. Honestly speaking the answer is very diverse. Some
seniors (senior MOs ,SMO,APMO) are very nice and some are very bad.
When you work at periphery the two major problem u may face with a senior is
1. He or she tries to skip
his/her duty and put all the burden on you
2. They wont let you work in OPDs and make you do
emergencies and interfere in your medicolegal buisness. Well be blunt in these cases.
Now remember that in periphery word "senior" is not the same as in ur teaching hospital. Here you are
an MO. Equally responsible for your action.No one will come to your rescue when things starts going
south.They usually do not like new young doctors checking patients efficiently because that may result
in increased patient numbers in the hospital and their private clinics will b effected.
Second issue is MLC.. under no circumstances listen to anything immoral or illegal.Because a senior
asking you to do something that you shouldn't b doing does not deserve ur respect.And he or she will
sure never come to your aid if u get in trouble.
Never go against administration like MS,EDO etc on behalf of anything said to you by a senior.He may b
using you for his own benefit. Always respect the senior but thats it.Access and evaluate everything they
say and then simply refuse if u think it is not appropriate.
Now Most of them are very nice seniors.Usually the do not ask you to do anything wrong.My own
experience with my seniors when i worked at periphery was very good.In case you came across
someone who is bad and do not respect u then return the favor immediately.

MLC introduction and basics

Medicolegal cases (MLCs) (Part 1:Introduction and basics) This is the most annoying and dangerous part of doctors especially new ones working in peripheries.It starts from RHC level to above. This is a very vast topic.I will try to explain it in sections by multiple posts in coming day (at Doctors Republic group) and then we can move to Sexual assault and Postmortems. Unfortunately new MOs and WMOs are thrown directly into declaring MLCs without any training within few days of their joining.I myself worked as Medicolegal officer for almost 4 month before i had the chance to go to PFSA(Punjab Forensic Science agency) for training and that was by luck.This is one of the most dangerous flaw in our medical system.I will try to explain point but bcaz its very diverse so feel free to ask question.i will try to explain it on what was taught to us during training (jitna yad rha hy mujhy) 1.First of all you should know that issuing MLC is legally binding on doctor issui...

Show cause notices & dealing with Administration

Show cause notices & dealing with Administration of BHU/RHC/THQ/DHQ Many of new doctors are worried about getting a show cause notice.What is a show cause notice? It is a simple letter to you from the administration of a hospital asking you to explain your particular action.And 99% of the time it goes to cold storage after ur response.Mostly they issue such notice to threat the young doctor as you get panic after a showcause notice. Remember that If you have not received a Show cause notice then it means you are working correctly and verbal threats or orders of your superior are just baseless threats.Never respond to a verbal order if you think that it is not fair. If administration do serve you a notice then there is no need to panic.It is routine procedure.Always give proper written response and state the facts .Always save a copy of ur response after diary. The reason for these notices is to keep record and to produce it in case they want to set an inquiry.No one can kick yo...
