Follow protocol no wrong huan, don't follow protocol get suspended or license revoked, don't matter the result goot or notch.

Blame the system not the person, nobody wants to gamble their career away.

It's more likely to do harm by thinking out of the box

But more often is also that they don't care as long as they earn the money

it's a people facing job, yet some doctors lack people skills. it gets worse when they give lectures and don't have any interest in your inputs. mostly a problem in senior ones, not junior

when you meet such people, reject everything, book a new appointment and say this doctor was rude. walk out immediately

Dr is trained that way. To follow the steps.

Is like cook book.

Have X out of Y criteria = Z diagnosis

Do test J K L to confirm.

Treatment options. Start with drug A. Then B. Then C.

If deviate from this is considered off label even luan lai can sue.

There is to be NO creative out of box ideas from dr!

From what I observed, last time doctor is use their experience, skillset and judgement to make a diagnosis and then give the correct treatment. Nowadays doctor is more like following a checklist like a computer..
If _________ is true then __________ else ______________.

do test after test after test..
They are called clinical practice guidelines

How creative or flexible can a doctor go? You don't trust the doctor then consult a second doctor lo.

From what I see, normal doctors will try to follow the protocol. Senior doctors sometimes will vary abit. Specialists like to offer solution that they are more comfortable with. Imagine a specialist offer you a solution like surgery he think is good for you but he is not good at performing. You want to be on the operating table with him as the main surgeon?

There are so many different types of illnesses, the normal doctor cannot remember all the different methods to treat for each type one la. Ask you about anything about your work from day 1 till today, you rmb or not.

So Mt Elizabeth Doctors and nurses (A&E) were not allowed to run to the scene. Just blame the system. Human life or their career is above everything?

siao eh you want people to use your life and try something new?
Don’t they do that all the time? My friend said she was treated like a white mouse in the lab for the doc to try out different medicines which don’t work. Another doc had never done a particular surgery before but he was very enthusiastic to try on my family to chalk up a record.

When a kid was knocked down by a car in Sembawang some years ago, KTPH accepted him although they didn’t have the expertise or facility for the case. The boy was sent there to die.
