Then, why obstetricians are more inclined to do Caesarean Sections rather than conduct Normal Deliveries or some docs totally stop seeing pregnant patients?

Personal choice
or push by public pressure?

1 Unpredictable hours of childbirth
Preggies can go into labor at anytime and deliver at anytime, even at 2-3am at night as compared to elective preplanned CSection

And when in labor,docs need to hang around in the hosp or extremely nearby (locked up personal time)
2 Ultrasound,antenatal test & in labor CTG cardiotocogram are NOT reliable in determining baby's health

Hence,moms who refused genetic check may end up hvg genetically handicapped baby but blamed it on birth process

In court,lawyer will ask "Why CSection wasn't done earlier?"
3 Compensation for a handicapped baby allegedly due to lack of oxygen during labor process is RM7million (1/3 of it went to lawyer)

Hence,CSection will eliminate almost all the medicolegal risk of having "handicapped baby due to labor"
4 Most private hospitals will paksarela the doctors' fee substantially up to 60-70% discount for vaginal delivery package while csection usually subjected to less discount, although max charges are capped at similar ceiling fee
5 MMA's capped fees already there since more than 20years ago & remains UNCHANGED while
docs' medicolegal indemnity insurance premium for obstetric practice
grows from <10K/yr 20yrs back
to RM40k-RM100K/yr today

Hence,more docs are giving up obstetric practice

TOP 8 POINTS IN COVID19 PRIVATE-PUBLIC INTEGRATION
by Dr Low Kah Pin @gynaepenang

Disclaimer: I am a gynae,
NOT public health expert,
NOT epidemiologist
NOT infectious disease specialist
NOT covidologist

But here's a few things I wanna pen down since I am curating (alang2)
1 Private hospitals all prepared to help out in pandemics since EARLY 2020, to take over non-covid patients as CSR corporate social responsibility program

Thus,there is NO need for darurat in 2021 to nationalize private hospitals
2 Rumors: Reason to open up private hosps for covid19 patients was enable VVIPs (read: Ministers) & supertycoons who not keen to be admitted to public hosp or quarantine centre ie MAEPS

Not all GHs are filled up fully by covid patients
Many GHs just turned hybrid lately

After Trump stepped down, Bernie is the famous one!

Meme is no joke!
Bernie's reaction?

 “I was just sitting there trying to keep warm, trying to pay attention to what was going on.”

“What was really nice is the woman who made the mittens lives in Essex Junction, Vermont, she is a schoolteacher and a very, very nice person." #Berniememes

Good morning, all!

Just another working Saturday for me

But first, morning walk with my usual morning symphony
The huge shady old big trees along the road was massacred yesterday

The fresh sawing wounds were clearly seen

This road is secluded and only used by less than 10 residents of houses here

Took a many years to grow a tree
One day to chop it down

Penang City Council, why?
Blinking back:
Today's @blinkist Blink's about Trevor Noah's "Born A Crime"

He maybe a straightfaced famous standup comedian to you but his childhood and life is an amazing tale of a survivor of an apartheid regime as a mixed child
