It is just unacceptable to have such bias policy. Anyway, there is the rule but I'm sure there is an exception. Under compassionate ground? <strong>Right on the mark... this is something which has to be done out of compassion, not compulsion.</strong> Doctors are pricey to train and a resource to the country.

Right on the mark… this is something which has to be done out of compassion, not compulsion.

Lucky we dental officers (back then) no need to accompany pts... Passive call only. Quite safe;) Poor houseman. I guess u need these incidents to happen.. open the eyes of those of the higher authority to start doing something about it. Think of the lives lost..Doctor pulak tu...Sad;( <strong>Dentists are exposed to many occupational hazards too, blood aerosols, sharps, drill noise, poor ergonomics etc. The employer (in this case, the MOH) has a responsibility to put in place protective measures and mechanisms for compensation when occupational injuries or diseases do occur. </strong> <strong>Unfortunately, this young lady's family was left high and dry by virtue of her junior status in civil service.</strong> Pheww!!

Unfortunately, this young lady’s family was left high and dry by virtue of her junior status in civil service.

Malaysia Occupational Safety and Health Act? Employment Act? Not sure if public servant is allow to form Union. Collective voice is louder! :) <strong>There's an OSHA in Malaysia.

There’s an OSHA in Malaysia. Doctors don’t have a union. The closest thing we’ve got is the Malaysian Medical Association.

Hate those paediatricians! Dengue case also need MO! Once I was too tired (post-call) and I didn't accompany a patient whom I thought was very stable. I was called up and screwed up. <strong>Hi cytusm, welcome. I guess they set their standards very high high. Better safe than sorry eh? Paediatricians and their paeds MO's tend to be very "hyper" personalities. Us normal ppl become surgeons and dermatologists. :-)</strong> I was once a MO in Kedah’s district hospital, and was very often asked to accompany patients to the referral hospital unnecessarily, especially paediatric cases.
