Singaporeans Stand Up to Their Doctors


[Ch...]

Recommended Posts

Singapore will not tolerate reckless prescribing of Benzodiazepines.  They are in fact penalizing their doctors, setting an example for the rest of world to follow.  That is, of course, if they can find the stones to do so.

"In addition, with increased affluence and a better educated populace, patients are more aware of their rights.

 

"Singaporeans also tend to read up more about their medical conditions and the treatment modalities before consulting the doctors.

 

"Many would have surfed the Internet, (so are) more well-read and informed and thus have higher expectations from the medical practitioners," said Dr Lam.

Yes, thanks Christopher. I really start to get the feeling that something big will happen soon (maybe just hopeful, dunno).

Seems like asia is not only passing us economically, they may be ahead politically as well.

I say lets push every chance we get. ::)
