Respect for Patients by Doctors

Respect for Patients by Doctors

 

Mutual Relationship of respect & Dignity between Doctor & Patients

 

Respect for the dignity of the person: This principle is drawn from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948) which proclaims that the basis for freedom, justice and peace is founded on the recognition of the inherent dignity and equality of human beings.

Respect and Dignity

Helping your loved one maintain a sense of dignity can be one of the most difficult aspects of care-giving.

Take a minute to consider your special role as a Doctor. More than a professional Doctor, you know the person you care for. You know the whole person, his likes and dislikes, his individual strengths and weaknesses, and his wants and needs.

It’s easy to slip into a “protective” role when you care for someone else, especially a family member. But we need to remember that unless the person is experiencing some cognitive failure (brain damage because of a stroke, dementia, or other health problem), he still makes decisions about his life. Sometimes he may make decisions that you wouldn’t make, but it is his choice. This can be difficult for you as a caregiver; you will need to watch yourself and guard against over-protection.

 

 

 

Among the most important human needs is the desire for respect and dignity. That need doesn’t change when a person becomes ill or disabled. Indeed, it may grow even stronger.

There are many things you as a doctor can do to make sure the Patients in your care receives the respect and dignity that is every person’s basic human right

 

Give Treatment Patients With Dignity.

·        Listen to his concerns.

·        Ask for his opinions and let him know they are important to you.

·        Involve him in as many decisions as possible.

·        Include him in the conversation. Don’t talk about him as though he’s not there.

·        Speak to him as an adult, even if you’re not sure how much he understands.

 

                        

Patients tell us that dignity and respect means:

 • being treated with care and compassion;

 • polite, courteous staff;

 • having their privacy and dignity actively respected; and

 • having their views listened to and taken into consideration.

Is Physiotherapy at home really helpful?

Is Physiotherapy at home really helpful? 

Physiotherapy at home  helps people of all ages who have medical conditions, illnesses, injuries that limit their regular ability to move and function.

A proper  physiotherapy program can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning &  encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well being.

So, why exactly is physiotherapy so important?

 Few reasons physiotherapy at home really helpful:- 

1. Reduce or eliminate pain.

Therapeutic exercises and manual therapy techniques such as joint and soft tissue mobilisation or treatments such as ultrasound, taping or electrical stimulation can  relieve pain and restore muscle & joint function to reduce pain. Physiotherapy can also prevent pain from returning.

2.  . Avoid surgery

If physical therapy helps you eliminate pain / heal from an injury, surgery may not be needed. Even if surgery is required, then you may benefit from pre-surgery physiotherapy If you are going into a surgery stronger and in better shape, you will recover faster afterward in many cases.

2. Improve mobility.

If you’re having trouble standing, walking / moving, regardless of your age, physiotherapy can help. Stretching and strengthening exercises help restore your ability to move. Physiotherapists can properly fit individuals with a cane, crutches or any other assistive device, or assess for orthotic prescription.

Customising an individual care plan, whatever activity that is important to an individual’s life can be practiced and adapted to ensure maximal performance and safety.

4.  Recover from a stroke.

It is common to lose some degree of function and movement after stroke. Physiotherapy helps to strengthen weakened parts of the body and improve gait & balance.

Physiotherapists can also improve stroke patients’ capability to transfer and move around in bed so  they can be more independent around the home, &  reduce their burden of care for toileting, bathing, dressing and other activities of daily living(ADL)

5.  Recover from or prevent a sports injury.

Physio understand how different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries (such as stress fractures for distance runners). They can design appropriate recovery or prevention exercise plan for you to ensure a safe return to your sport.

6.  Improve your balance and prevent falls.

When you begin physiotherapy session, you will get screened for fall risk. If you’re at high risk for falls, physiotherapists will provide exercises that safely and carefully challenge your balance as a way to mimic real -life situations.

Physiotherapists also help you with exercises to improve coordination and assistive devices to help with the safer walking. When the balance problem is caused by a problem in one’s vestibular system,

Physio can perform specific maneuvers that can quickly restore proper vestibular functioning, and reduce and eliminate all symptoms of dizziness or vertigo.

7.  Manage diabetes and vascular conditions.

In the  diabetes management plan, exercise can help effectively control blood sugar. Additionally, people with diabetes may have problems with sensation in their feet and legs.

Physio can help educate these patients on proper foot care to prevent further problems down the road. They can also assist with pain management.

8.  Manage age-related issues

As individuals age, they may develop arthritis/ osteoporosis or need a joints replacement. Balance also tends to decrease significantly and people develop a much higher risk for falls& others. Physiotherapists are experts in helping patients recover from joint replacement, & manage arthritic or osteoporotic conditions conservatively.

9.  Manage heart and lung disease.

While patients may complete cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack/ procedure, you also may receive physiotherapy session  if your daily functioning is affected.

For pulmonary problems, physiotherapy can improve quality of  life through strengthening, conditioning and breathing exercises, and help patients clear fluid in the lungs.

10.  Manage women’s health and other conditions.

Women have specific health concerns, such as with pregnancy & others  care. Physiotherapists can offer specialized management of issues related to women’s health. Additionally, physiotherapy can provide specialised treatment for bowel incontinence, breast cancer, constipation, fibromyalgia, lymphedema, male pelvic health, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence.

Physiotherapy council in India

आजकल फिजियोथेरेपी समुदाय मैं एक अजीब सी ख़ामोशी छाई हुई है।
सभी आंदोलन शांत या तो ठप पड़ रहे है। कारण समझ से परे है, या तो हम सभी हार मान चुके है या थक चुके है ।
कोई मांग नहीं हो रही है सरकार से, कोई धरना  प्रदर्शन भी नहीं हो रहा।
विभिन्न फिजियोथेरेपी संगठनों के प्रतिनिधियों की भी कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं आ रही है।
राजनीतक हलकों में भी फिजियोथेरेपी को लेकर कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं है।
खैर राजनीतिज्ञों को फिजियोथेरेपी से क्या लेना देना? उनकी समझ तो इस को मालिश से ज्यादा कुछ नहीं मानती।

लेकिन जिंदगी का हर पल लाजवाब हो न हो जिंदगी के हर सवाल का जवाब होना चाहिए, इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि कितनी ही देर लगी बस इंसान को जिंदगी में कामयाब होना चाहिए।

अगर आप सोचते हैं कि आप कर सकते हैं – तो आप कर सकते हैं। अगर आप सोचते हैं कि आप नहीं कर कते हैं – तो आप नहीं कर सकते हैं। और हर तरह से…आप सही हैं।
 मेरे पिछले लेख में भी मैंने कहा था कि अगर ब्रिज कोर्स अन्य हैल्थ केयर कोर्सेज के लिए चलाया जा सकता है तो फिजियोथेरेपी के लिए क्यों नहीं( इसीलिए दोस्तों आज ही अपनी सोच को बदलो आप हर वह काम कर सकते हैं जो दूसरा कर रहा है)।

निरंतर अभ्यास करने से हम स्वास्थ रह सकते है यही हम अपने मरीजों को नशिहत देते हैं, अपनी बारी मैं क्यों भूल जाते है।
हम को भी प्रयास नहीं छोड़ना है। विभिन्न फिजियोथेरेपी संगठनों और नेताओं से मेरा अनुरोध है कि आप अपने प्रयास मैं कोई कमी ना रखे, आप पर लाखों करोड़ों लोगों की उम्मीदें कायम हैं।
बीते समय में भी आप लोगों ने काफ़ी बेहतर प्रयास किए हैं ।
उम्मीद है आप आगे भी प्रयास जारी रखेंगे।
यहां में कुछ संगठनों का नाम लेना चाऊंगा जिनके कार्य से बीते समय में लाभ हुआ है अभिनव फिजियो संगठन, एआईएपी ब्रांच बिहार, इंदौर महाराष्ट्र फिजियो काउंसिल।आईएपी के प्रयास भी सराहनीय है लेकिन उमीदें कुछ ज्यादा रखता हूं।
वयकित विशेष का नाम नहीं लूंगा लेकिन क्रांतिकरियों की कमी नहीं है फिजियथैरेपिस्ट समाज में।

हम अपने भाग्य के सहारे की रहें है।
भाग्य’ के दरवाजे पर सर पीटने से बेहतर हैं, कि अपने ‘कर्म’ का तूफ़ान पैदा कर… फिर देख सारे दरवाजे खुल जाएंगे।
Visibility बनानी होगी जागृति लनी होगी, पुराने प्रयास फिर दोहराने होंगे, हंगर स्ट्राइक, धरना प्रदर्शन फिर से करना होगा।
चुनाव का समय है ये हमारे लिए positive है।

सबको अपने अपने स्तर पर काम करना होगा सफलता हमको जरूर मिलेगी।
अंत में मैं यही कहना चाहूंगा कि रख हौंसला वो मंजर भी आयेगा, प्यासे के पास चल के समंदर भी आयेगा, थक कर ना बैठ ऐ मंज़िल के मुसाफ़िर, मंज़िल भी मिलेगी और मिलने का मज़ा भी आयेगा।
जय हिन्द । जय फिजीयोथैरपी।

If Ayurveda and homeopathy doctors can practice Allopathy after perusing bridge course why can't Physiotherapy doctors?

If Ayurveda and homeopathy doctors can practice Allopathy after perusing bridge course why can't Physiotherapy doctors?

New Delhi, India, 
Doctors pursuing Indian systems of medicine, including ayurveda, and homoeopathy may be allowed to practice allopathy after clearing a bridge course, according to a  new bill introduced in the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament). The National Medical Commission Bill, 2017, which seeks to replace the apex medical education regulator, the Medical Council of India (MCI), with a new body, was moved by the government in the House.

The clause 49 of the Bill calls for a joint sitting of the National Medical Commission, the Central Council of Homoeopathy and the Central Council of Indian Medicine at least once a year “to enhance the interface between homoeopathy, Indian systems of medicine and modern systems of medicine”. The Bill also proposes that  some specific educational modules/programmes for developing bridges across the various systems of medicine and promotion of medical pluralism can be done with the approval of the members present at the joint sitting.

What is the provision in Medical Commission Bill:

Clause 49 of the The National Medical Commission Bill call for a joint sitting of the National Medical Commission, the Central Council of Homoeopathy and the Central Council of Indian Medicine at least once a year “to enhance the interface between homoeopathy, Indian systems of medicine and modern systems of medicine”.
