Young doctors prefer big cities'

KUALA LUMPUR: Most young doctors are known to shy away from postings at hospitals outside the Klang Valley or capital cities, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican. Noting this current trend of preferring to be based in big centres, he said the young doctors were known to appeal against postings outside the big cities.

With this kind of attitude, it was impossible to provide equitable medical service for the Malaysian population, he said.

"Young doctors must, therefore, be ready and capable of adapting to serve in areas needed by the public to create an equal distribution of healthcare.
"It is crucial for future generations of doctors to have greater understanding of the expectations of the rakyat, not only in the city but also nationwide so that the people could enjoy accessible and affordable healthcare to keep them in optimal health.

"Unfortunately, not many of our young doctors today are ready for this challenge due to the fast changing modern and technological society," he said in his keynote address at the inaugural Pre-Medical Student Conference 2010 organised by Kolej Mara Banting at the Prince Court Medical Centre here yesterday.

Dr Ismail's speech was delivered by the Health Ministry's disease control deputy director, Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar.

Quoting examples, the Health D-G said there was still an inequitable distribution of doctors between the rural and urban areas as well as the public and private sectors, where some clinics in Sabah and Sarawak were still manned by medical assistants.

The one-day conference, attended by 107 participants from Kolej Mara Banting and other institutes, was aimed at preparing medical students for the challenges of the medical world. -- Bernama

Saving costs over lives by Llew-Ann Phang

PETALING JAYA (Dec 19, 2010): Doctors have a responsibility to practice good judgment and prudence in deciding whether to prolong the life of a terminally ill patient or to leave their families bankrupt. The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) says this is the moral dilemma most medical practitioners are faced with. Its president Dr David Quek was responding to theSun’s article on Dec 13 on budgetary constraints on life-saving treatment or medicines that can help prolong lives of patients. “It’s not a matter of saving costs over lives, but about being prudent and making a decision in the interest of the public good. “Patients already have to fork out a lot of money to pay for their treatment. If the government has to pay RM20,000 to RM30,000 more for an injection that may extend his or her life by two to three weeks wouldn’t the money be better spent on better causes?” he said. Citing a recent example, Quek said he had personally been involved in the case of a patient who had lung cancer which had metastasised to the brain. The patient suffered a stroke and became comatose. He said the patient, who was a father of two young children, was in the ICU for one and a half months in critical condition. “I was there because they asked me to look after his cardiomyopathy (deterioration of the heart muscle). One of the doctors recommended treating the tumour with Avastin, which is very expensive. “The family had already spent so much on treatment and used up insurance claims of between RM50,000 and RM60,000 besides the cost of treatment. “A few days later he succumbed to his condition and when the family went home they found they didn’t have enough money and couldn’t pay the bills. “These are the things we have to consider – what happens to the family? We don’t want to create bankrupt families,” Quek said, adding that someone has to pay because there is no such thing as free medicines. “We have finite resources and a finite budget so every healthcare practitioner has to practise good judgment and prudence. “They may say I’m rationalising this unfairly but we have to be realistic and it is also for this reason that the MMA has been pushing for the establishment of a catastrophic fund which has to be reinsured and again, patients to benefit from it must be wisely chosen,” he said. -- theSun

Girlfriends 'exchanged' for drugs

Would you offer a night of passion with your girlfriend (or boyfriend) for drugs? Shockingly, some Malaysian youth in Kelantan did.

AP File Photo

Bernama, a Malaysian news agency, reported that some Kelantanese teenagers exchanged sexual intercourse with their girlfriends for psychotropic pills (or 'pil kuda' in local lingo).
These activities have been blamed for the increase in sexual crimes in the northern Malaysian state.
State police deputy chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Lazim explained that teenage addicts would make such offers to drug peddlers for their supply of pills.
"Such alarming activity also involved schoolboys aged between 14 and 16, who already had sex with their girlfriends," he said.

Kidney cancer meets its match By Joseph Masilamany

PETALING JAY (Dec 7, 2010): It is silent, sinister and sneaky. It creeps up into your kidney and remains there – only revealing itself with a gush of hematuria (blood in the urine) at an advanced stage in most cases. Mohd Ibrahim ... a step closer to more potent treatment for RCC The patient may think it is a case of bladder stones, but diagnosis may present a menacing malignancy called renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or kidney cell cancer. For oncologists, it is usually a tough battle treating RCC as it strikes insidiously. The treatment option at stage four is usually the removal of the affected kidney and for cases detected at earlier stages, there are very few drugs that can effectively contain the spread of the disease. On Saturday, the local fraternity of oncologists had a reason to applaud when temsirolimus – an intravenous drug – was launched by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Temsirolimus offers "targeted treatment" for advanced cases of RCC and improves the quality of life for patients. The launch of temsirolimus is "welcome news" for RCC patients, as they are usually "overlooked" in the battle against kidney cancer due to its poor prognosis. "Clinical studies have shown that temsirolimus is able to obtain good results and Pfizer is pleased to offer this hope and extended life to RCC patients through this treatment," said Dr Mohd Nawi Wahid, product physician/medical adviser of the oncology and specialty care business unit of Pfizer Malaysia. Also present at the launch were consultant clinical oncologist and Wijaya International Medical Centre director Datuk Dr Mohd Ibrahim A. Wahid and consultant medical oncologist Dr Christina Ng. Mohd Ibrahim said 400 cases of RCC are diagnosed every year in the country. He said it is the most treatment-resistant cancer registering a five-year survival rate of only 23%. "The incidence of kidney and other urinary organ cancer is highest among ethnic Chinese in the country with 375 per 100,000 followed by Malays (220) and Indians (52)," Mohd Ibrahim said. There were very limited options available until three years ago for treating RCC, and the usual treatment is surgery aimed at removing the cancerous organ. Even after surgery about 30% of the patients suffer a relapse and the need for further management is inevitable with poor patient outcome. Mohd Ibrahim described temsirolimus as a breakthrough drug as it extends patient life. He perceives temsirolimus as a springboard for further advancement of research in "targeted treatment therapies" that are focused on inhibiting the progression of rogue cells that cause cancer and stopping them at their molecular pathway. --theSun

Died from inhalant abuse

A CORONER inquiry heard on Wednesday that 42-year-old destitute Kan Siew Kai died in July this year of toluene poisoning caused by glue sniffing.
Toluene is a solvent normally present in substances such as glue and thinner and the court heard that a plastic bag containing a yellowish substance was found in the toilet cubicle of the Chinatown coffee shop where the death occurred. Mr Kan's death was ruled a misadventure by State Coroner Imran Hamid.
While there have been several cases of addicts drowning or falling to the death from buildings after abusing inhalants, death by toluene toxicity is very rare. The last reported case was nearly 10 years ago when Mr Loh You Hwa, a 26-year-old Malaysian, was found dead in the back seat of his car in September 2001, with a plastic container over his head.
Tests by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) revealed that Mr Loh had abused inhalants that contained toluene and died after breathing too much of it in the enclosed car. His death was also ruled a misadventure.
Investigating officer Yow Kien Seng told the inquiry that in Mr Kan's case, workers of the K88 coffee shop in Banda Street found a toilet cubicle occupied for a suspiciously long time at about 6.40pm on July 11, 2010. When they forced open its door, they found a body on the toilet bowl with one hand on the floor.
Inspector Yow also said that police officers found no identification on the body. However, a fingerprint check revealed that the dead man was Mr Kan. Investigations then revealed that he had a history of inhalant abuse offences that stretched back till 1990 and had been first admitted to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) a year later for chronic inhalant abuse.

8 HIV cases detected daily

AN AVERAGE of eight new HIV cases are detected in the country every day.
Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Heng Seai Kie said the situation was of great concern as the authorities also recorded three HIV-related deaths each day.
Based on the Health Ministry's statistics, she said a total of 87,710 HIV cases had been detected and that 12,039 had died at end of last year.
'What is very worrying is that nearly 40 per cent of those detected with HIV were youths below 29 years old,' she said at the opening of an educational seminar on HIV-Aidsfor youths in the state.
She said a study among youths aged between 13 and 24 showed that at least 2.2 per cent of them had had sexual intercourse.
The study also found that many of them were not aware of sexually transmitted diseases. -- THE STAR/ANN

Our future depends on getting the best talents

OUR Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should be lauded for initiating the formation of Talent Corporation Malaysia Bhd effective Jan 1.
The objective is to attract, recruit, develop and retain local and foreign talents to work in Malaysia with the introduction of a resident pass for highly-skilled expats and spouses who wish to live and work in the country for a period of at least 10 years.
There is a great urgency to ensure our Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) has the right talent with the right knowledge, skill and ability to achieve its desired outcomes.
Billions of dollars are being invested for the 12 New Key Economics Areas and other strategic areas such as bio-technology, ICT and aerospace.
It is recommended that Talent Corp’s board comprises an ethnically-mixed group of local and foreign experts. There will be a greater transfer of knowledge on how the best global companies build a strong managerial talent pool.
The aim is to ensure continuity in the development of our second generation leaders for the future to take up key positions in Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) and the private sector.
Talented leaders want exciting challenges and greater development opportunities. They want to be in a great company with great leaders, and for the work environment to be open, trusting and performance-oriented.
They want substantial wealth creation opportunities and higher salaries, relocation packages, signing bonuses and stock options.
This is the price that Talent Corp needs to pay to attract the best brains to steer Malaysia towards becoming a developed nation by 2020.         by(c sathasivam seremban)

kelebihan amalan baik

Seorang lelaki muda bangun di awal pagi utk solat subuh di masjid. Dia berpakaian, berwudu' dan berjalan menuju masjid. Di tengah jalan lelaki itu jatuh dan pakaiannya kotor. Dia bangkit, membersihkan bajunya, dan pulang ke rumah. Di rumah, dia berganti baju, berwudu', dan, berjalan menuju masjid.

Dlm perjalanan ke masjid, dia jatuh lagi di tem...pat yg sama! Dia, sekali lagi, bangkit, membersihkan dirinya dan kembali ke rumah. Dirumah, dia, sekali lagi berganti baju, berwudu' dan berjalan lagi menuju masjid.

Di tengah jalan menuju masjid, dia bertemu seorang lelaki yg memegang lampu. Dia menyapa lalu lelaki itu menjawab "Saya melihat kamu jatuh 2 kali di perjalanan menuju masjid, jadi saya bawakan lampu untuk menerangi jalan kamu.' Lelaki muda mengucapkan terima kasih dan mereka berdua berjalan ke masjid.

Saat sampai di masjid, lelaki muda itu mengajak teman barunya yang membawa lampu untuk masuk bersolat subuh bersamanya. Lelaki tadi menolak. Berkali-kali diajak tetapi jawapannya sama.

Lelaki muda bertanya, kenapa menolak untuk masuk bersolat. Lelaki pembawa lampu menjawab:

Aku adalah Syaitan

Lelaki muda itu sungguh terkejut..!


Syaitan menjelaskan, ''Saya melihat kamu berjalan ke masjid,dan sayalah yg membuat kamu terjatuh. Ketika kamu pulang ke rumah, membersihkan badan dan kembali ke masjid, Allah mengampunkan semua dosamu. Saya membuatmu jatuh kedua kalinya, dan itupun tidak membuatmu merubah fikiran tetapi tetap kembali ke masjid.


Kerana itu, Allah mengampunkan dosa seluruh keluargamu. Saya KHUATIR jika saya membuatmu jatuh ketiga kalinya, mungkin Allah akan mengampunkan dosa seluruh penduduk desamu, jadi saya harus memastikan bahwa kamu sampai dimasjid dgn selamat..'

MORAL :
Jangan abaikan suatu niat baik yg kita mahu lakukan, kerana kita tidak pernah tahu ganjaran yg bakal kita perolehi dari segala kesulitan yg kita hadapi demi melaksanakan niat baik tsbt .

Mum submits to rapist to save daughter’s honour

TO SAVE her child’s honour, a mother became the “sacrificial lamb” to a rapist who, with an accomplice, also robbed the family of RM2,000 in cash and jewellery, Harian Metro reported.
To add to her humiliation, the accomplice recorded his friend’s horrendous act on his cellphone.
The two masked men had stormed into the woman’s house at Kampung Melayu Subang in Selangor at about 4.30am on Thursday, waking the housewife and her 12-year-old daughter from sleep.
Her husband was away at work.
The intruders ransacked the house and managed to gather some cash and jewellery, worth about RM2,000.
Not satisfied with the loot, one of the robbers gave an ultimatum to the victims – one of them must surrender herself to him.
The culprit turned a deaf ear to their pleadings and the mother had no choice but to give in so her child would not be harmed.
The victim made a police report after the robbers fled the scene.
Petaling Jaya police chief Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed said the police was investigating the matter.

Facebook used to recruit girls as 'drug mules': Malaysia

Social networking site Facebook is becoming a hunting ground for recruiting Malaysian girls as drug mules by international syndicates, a senior minister has warned. Malaysia is alarmed that more varsity-age Malaysian girls using Facebook were being lured by drug syndicates' promises of significant
rewards to ferry drugs for them, Deputy Foreign Minister Richard Riot Jaem said. "Most victims are befriended through Facebook. It (Facebook) can be a good friend. But it's also a dangerous friend," Richard said, adding that his ministry had found that most of the victims were befriended by syndicate members of African origin.
He said that syndicates, after befriending their victims, would offer to pay for 'holidays' overseas, usually China, Japan and Latin America, some offering the mules thousands of dollars in pocket money to spend on the trip.
International survey firm TNS last month reported that Malaysians had the most 'friends' on Facebook and spent nine hours daily on an average surfing the profile of more than 500 millions members.
Richard said the drug mule situation was turning "from bad to worse".
He said 785 of 1560 Malaysians arrested overseas since 1991 were drug mules of which 149 were women.
Of those, 70 have been sentenced to death for trafficking of illicit drugs.   (press trust of india)

Exercise and protein Is it better to eat it before or after working out?

Having that protein shake right after exercising may help build muscle in both younger and older men, a study says.
What's more, muscle protein increased at nearly the same rate in both young and elderly men.
This suggests that, contrary to some research speculation, older age may not impair the way the body digests and absorbs protein from food, wrote study leader Luc JC van Loon of Maastricht University Medical Centre in the Netherlands.
"Effective dietary approaches are needed to prevent and/or attenuate the age-related loss of muscle mass," van Loon and his colleagues said.
The study, carried in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, included 24 older men with an average age of 74 and 24 young men with an average age of 21, none of whom regularly exercised.
Researchers randomly assigned the men to two groups. In one, the men rested for 90 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of exercise -- pedalling a stationary bike and performing light strengthening exercises. In the other group, the men spent those additional 30 minutes relaxing.
Afterwards, men in both groups drank a solution containing 20 grams of protein, then had their blood levels of various amino acids repeatedly measured.
The researches also took a small sample of tissue from each man's thigh muscle, right before the protein drink and six hours afterward, to measure protein changes in the muscle.
Overall, muscle protein increased to a greater extent in the exercise group than the inactive group, for both older and younger men.
But the study has limitations, such as the small size. In addition, it did not look at actual muscle mass changes over time but only short-term changes in participants' muscle-fibre proteins after the protein drink.
