Clarity in naming matters. Patients must not be allowed to believe they are being treated by a doctor when they are not. Doctors must always lead the team. This is about making sure patients get the care they need when they need it. Tales of missed opportunities abound

[World Medical Association @medwma]

WMA urges clearer definitions for non-physician roles to protect patient safety, following concerns raised by the British Medical Association.

@drenabulele @medwma Congratulations and happy birthday!!

@drarasu71 You put price tags on items displayed for sale. Drugs are kept behind the counter and are not for sale. They are dispensed to patients at the doctor’s order. You can’t just walk in and pick them off the shelf.

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@yoongkhean @yoongkhean , truly a patriotic act - and a humanitarian one, too

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@codebluenews And what happens in 2 years when these housemen become 50% fewer MOs, and in 10 years correspondingly fewer specialists?

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@drarasu71 Maybe MMA, AM, MTS etc. should compile the relevant information in hard copy and deliver it to the Tourism Minister. Might take a few trucks to carry 😄😄

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@drarasu71 It is also vital to go after the frauds who sold these faulty ventilators

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

This problem will continue to recur so long as government regulates fees without providing for regular increases proportional to inflation

[drarasu @drarasu71]

Stagnant consultation fees & overregulation jeopardize the vital role of GPs in healthcare. Government action is needed to support GPs & ensure a sustainable healthcare ecosystem. Let's preserve their invaluable contributions! 🏥💪 #SupportOurGPs

@ProfAdeeba Who formulates such policies? The cost of vaccinating everyone would not be prohibitive and the benefits are clear. I can’t believe the callousness of the policymakers

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@MrAtheistPants @ElneOfficial @NickAdamsinUSA Have you never heard of the coming of the Lord?

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@yoongkhean No reform is possible unilaterally. Within the lifespan of a Parliament, you can pass a reformed financing bill, but opposition will use it to defeat you next election. All parties must get together and produce a unified bill which they can support

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@yoongkhean Emphasis on “with”

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@tulunsokit @Abraham60373150 I always answer “No” - never mind if I’m hurting its feelings 😄

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@11975MHz @rickygervais @rickygervais literally wrote just that in the tweet you are replying to

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@yoongkhean If it gets dirty you have to send to an authorised dealer for cleaning

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@ProfAdeeba I feel these people are so focused on LGBTQ people because they are in the closet

[Ashok Philip @ashok_philip]

@malaysianmedic1 @drarasu71 All of the above should be an option

[Malaysian Medical Association @malaysianmedic1]

@my_sejahtera , what have you done? My vaccine certificate used to show correct details when its QR code was scanned. Now look at it! What sort of screwup is this?
